Coming Soon!

A revised edition of Playing by Heart

A revised edition of Carmela Martino's award-winning novel Playing by Heart will be released September 8, 2025. The new edition contains Book Discussion questions for use by book clubs, classroom teachers, and homeschooling groups. Carmela is inviting these groups to join her 25 Book Clubs Challenge. She would love to visit your reading group to share the true story of the amazing sisters who inspired Playing by Heart and to answer questions you may have about the novel, discuss some of her research challenges, and more.  Help Carmela meet her goal of speaking to at least 25 groups!

For details, see the Book Clubs page.
