Harmony
Steve always wanted to be a rock star. Michelle always wanted to be an interior designer. Two teenage kids, a steep mortgage and an Orange County Housewives' lifestyle later... Steve and Michelle find themselve plodding through a life they don't recognize. Steve, the owner of a small brokerage firm, can feel his financial house of cards wobbling. Hiding late notices and ridiculous credit card bills, he longs to leave it all. Couldn't he just be a roadie of his favorite rock band? Michelle treasures her 'everything designer' ensuring that not one label is out of style--that not one rhinestone doesn't sparkle just a little brighter than the neighbors'. When Steve leaves her with suffocating debt, she vows to do anything to keep up the appearances. But as appearances grow too expensive, she faces a reality more humiliating than poverty. Murder. Will their son spend the rest of life in prison?

About the author
Kristin Orloff
8 books1 followerKristin Orloff holds a Masters degree in Education and a B.A. in Language Arts. She has published several works, mentors young writers, and is an active member of her local writing community.
Currently, she is proud of her two top published stories ~ each of which humanizes world-altering events. With humor and humility, Orloff is able to take complex historical circumstances and connect her audience through brilliant characters.
'Harmony' is based on the events of 2008 wherein a middle class family struggles to survive not just financial ruin, but deception, the crushing of dreams and even murder. Popular with book clubs, Harmony will not only make you laugh, but touch your heart in places you'll be grateful to reawaken.
In the nonfiction narrative 'American Wings, Iranian Roots', her passionate commitment to create opportunities for authentic conversation regarding Iranian culture, history and identity began with a simple conversation at a Little League field. This conversation, with gold medal wrestler and hall of fame coach Reza Abedi, has since changed lives of her readers. Like Kite Runner, Three Cups of Tea and Funny with Farsi, this story makes foreign familiar.
She knew these stories needed to be told. She does so with a confidence of her craft and an authenticity only her experience could achieve.
