Valentine’s Day Program Celebrates Love (Round Top)

St. Cecilia's Round Top is thrilled to present a special Valentine's Day program, "Heart Song", with Babette Fraser Hale on Friday, February 14th at 5:45 p.m. in the historic Haw Creek Chapel in Henkel Square. Babette is a columnist for the Fayette County Record, an award- winning author and a long-time resident of the Fayette-Washington County area. She will share stories from her new and acclaimed book This Familiar Heart: An Improbable Love Story. Leon Hale and Babette Fraser were the unlikeliest of couples. He was sixty, a "country boy" who wrote about ordinary people with humor and sensitivity. She was thirty-six, a one-time socialite struggling in her career while raising a young son. No one thought it could work. This Familiar Heart is an intimate portrait, told with clarity, honesty and race, of the deep personal connection that transformed their turbulent courtship into a happy marriage. Musical accompaniment for this evening celebrating the power of love to transform us will be provided by Stephen Mansolo. The event and the reception that follows are free and open to the public.
