(ancient Jewish maxim) Alouette's Song is a New Adult romantic action-adventure featuring two couples, one heroic and one support, each having a college-aged teen plus a teen accelerated into college or beyond. Themes from government conspiracy thrillers, inspirational fiction, and coming of age, are presented through a dramatic storytelling style infused with frequent humor and irony. There are even a few small paranormal elements: a sworn protector of humanity hiding behind someone else's eyes, a 6000-year old guardian spirit keeping safe a treasure that if used selflessly could save a people... and an inherited gift infused with generation after generation of sacred use from a Jewish village in Eastern Europe. Meet Dotty and Rick. Dotty is a professional violinist with a GED. Rick is a college sophomore, having graduated high school early to pursue interests that steer him away from an abusive home. While not a typical love-at-first-sight scenario they do get thrown together in a spectacular manner. Dotty gets mugged in a subway and falls onto the tracks of a train due to arrive in a minute, getting injured in the fall. Rick is considering suicide by the very same train, but the moment he decides to do so he hears Dotty's screams. He places Dotty's need to live above his own need to die. Their collision turns into a kiss that lights up the universe for both of them. Martin and Margie have been friends from childhood. Margie has autism but is brilliant enough to hide her condition at the price of extreme loneliness. Martin is the only one who accepts her for exactly who and what she is. Margie won't reveal her hopeless love for him because of this as she knows he's gay. But Margie stumbles onto an answer for them both... having to do with the power of Time. Martin takes Margie's discovery and along with his engineering talent utilizes both to build a spacecraft. Soon both couples are together and in way over their heads within the sea of stars; only ingenuity, compassion, valor, and prayer can get them safely home.
