Bear Me Away to a Better World tells the story of two intensely creative people who meet in the 1950s, bond, and form a partnership that touches many lives.
Fifty years later, at their beloved Villa Zanetta, a performing arts center in California's Sonoma Valley, someone is (presumably) murdered, but someone else is secretly loved, while another is disgraced, and yet another finds solutions.
We find Hector sowing seeds in the Villa Garden, and Marcus discovering new artistic vistas, while Martha grieves a loss and Kendra hopes for a future.
Circling the periphery of Villa Zanetta and its cast of colorful creatives are Hayne Williams and Diesel Edwards, the "duo" in the subtitle, who make discoveries of their own and hold it all together with the power of art, ideas and music.
In today's confounding universe, Bear Me Away to a Better World wraps its arms around you to give you sweet joy and dear hope.
