"Close to My Heart" opening dedication poem from the debut novel MANY OPTIONS AROUND THE WORLD

By Andrea K. Hammer

Through Artsphoria Publishing‘s Build-a-Custom-Book Service, we recently released Chapter 1: Philadelphia from our MANY OPTIONS AROUND THE WORLD. Set near the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this pivotal chapter is the foundation for the rest of our debut novel about a mother and daughter with a special friendship.

Major Theme in Debut Novel: Drawing Strength From Art Books and Film

As the mother and daughter in Chapter 1: Philadelphia from MANY OPTIONS AROUND THE WORLD celebrate life and navigate illness and grief together, their shared passion for art, books and film gives them strength. Drawn directly from real-life conversations, cherished discussions about culture and reactions to movies are preserved. Originally written as an attempt to heal after the actual loss of this key relationship, the chapter is offered in the spirit of helping others in similar circumstances find comfort.
