Playing My Heart Out

Part-memoir and part-love letter, this is a lighthearted, intimate look at the world of handbells and the ringers who geek out over them. From the first story of the unlikely way the author discovered this unique art to the satisfying to-be-continued conclusion, funny and heart-tugging stories take us on a journey through adventures and emotions of the handbell world, and the life lessons learned along the way. 

 

This is not just a book for handbell aficionados. This is for anyone who has ever yearned to engage in a passion but has been put off by fear, lack of time or disconnection from the soul-singing feeling that pursuing a passion brings. Marotta offers her vision of the full and joyful heart we experience when we’re engaged in our passions, whatever they may be. Her invitation is simple, inspiring, and clear: Find the thing you love, make time for it in your life, and watch your joy multiply.
