Delve into vivid portraits of historical events in the making through the eyes of three main characters.
When Christopher Straw was a young boy in Fort Littleton, Pennsylvania, he wanted nothing more than to be the first man on the moon. Anna Lane craved fame; she dreamed of leaving Charleston, South Carolina for stardom on Broadway, in Hollywood, anywhere she could get it. Living on the outskirts of Sholapur, India, Raj Bhavnani was desperate for knowledge, to travel; and was determined to become a world leader.
Unveil the fuller and unlimited meaning for the three prominent figures in Raising the Baton. Written as though the reader is in a first-row seat at a concert, the conductor has taken his standing position at the podium. He faces the orchestra; his back to the audience, and with one stroke the baton is watched by all those in attendance.
