GOLDEN WILLOW

Mike Kellogg is a solid fit to portray Harry Bernstein's memorable tribute to Ruby, his beloved wife of 70 years. The book is also the unexpected realization of Bernstein's lifelong dream of writing—which did not begin until his wife’s death from leukemia at age 92. In a warm and melodious baritone, Kellogg depicts cherished memories that begin with the couple’s marriage in 1935. In particular, Kellogg memorably portrays their first meeting at a dance held at New York's legendary Webster Hall, where they both felt they'd met their soul mate. Kellogg’s versatile range and vocal skills portray a marriage built on love and respect that grew deeper and richer with every passing year. The story also affirms that belief in oneself is important at any age. Chapter One is an interview with the author.
