ABOUT THE BOOK

NICK’S CHOICE (Book 1 of the In Your Arms series) is a story of redemption:

As a teenage adult, Nick Costas struggles to cope with and overcome his rough upbringing in abusive foster homes and on the streets of South L.A. He senses there is a better life for him out there, but he is unsure what it is or how to obtain it. That is, until he falls into a rare opportunity working a soundboard for the Marine Band, which sets him off on a redemptive journey involving music, love, spirituality, and the perfect family he never knew could have existed.

Join Nick on his journey of redemption as he transitions from a broken and confused teenage adult to a successful professional, a loving and spiritual father of a family of seven, and an inspiration to others. Follow him as he goes from working the soundboard for the Marine Band to becoming a successful music producer in Hollywood, Nashville, and West Virginia.

And follow him as his and Barb’s story of redemption, love, and spirituality begins to inspire others in their own lives and relationships.
