Here's a rarity-an inspiring and powerful memoir by an aunt and her nephew who have achieved a perfect harmony as people as well as writers. Through stories and poems written over the course of their entire lifetimes, the book offers their separate accounts of the unique and loving bond they formed over fifty years ago, when they were both at a low point in their lives. It triumphs as a record of second chances and the healing power of love and the creative process. And it affirms the utility of creative expression in overcoming the rigidity, emotional and moral blindness, and refusal to come to terms with hidden famiy truths that have spanned generations.

Industry Reviews

"A winner! I loved Robert Baumol's quick-spirited Two-Part Harmony. Its rapid writing style, fascinating characters, subtle humor, and twists of family drama gripped me from its opening sentence. Coupled with the wise, beautiful poetry and prose of Elise Asch, the book is a great read. I couldn't put it down."

-Jim Gold, author of Carlos the Cloud and Dancing Beyond Covid

"Robert Baumol's Two Part-Harmony, written in collaboration with Elise Asch, is an inspiring account of overcoming the multiple obstacles of growing up in a dysfunctional family, including abandonment, parentification, teen drug abuse, and a brother's fatal journey into alcoholism. It is a lesson in how humor and the reciprocal embrace of positive influencers in life, even in later life, can facilitate healing and forgiveness."

-Judith Green, Ph.D., LCSW
