About Jessica Roemischer and In Duet with God
Artwork by Stephanie Anderson
Jessica Roemischer is an award-winning pianist, author and performing artist. In Duet with God: The Story of a Lifelong Friendship is her first book. Honored with a 2016 Illumination Book Award, it's the story of Flora, a young woman who, against all odds, finds her way from a tiny Ecuadorian village to the tree-lined suburbs of New York. There she enters the young life of the author and the tragedy that's unfolding. In Duet with God is the tale of Flora’s love, and the awakening of the heart this remarkable person inspired. Jessica shares this story in her inspiring piano performances, in reading groups (online and in-person), on Facebook and social media, and on the In Duet with God blog.
