Plot Summary of Firebird
"Mr. Ethan Brown is a rich and successful lawyer who goes to live in his farm ranch from Flint Hills, Kansas. He shares his time here between his books, his cowboy employees and his fiancée, the daughter of the wealthiest man in the county. He thinks she is the perfect match for him as they have the same perceptions of life, land and wealth. But, one day, a new neighbor come in the scene and Ethan's life. She is Annette Zeldin, a concert violinist with a little daughter, recently returned from Europe to settle her mother's estate. They begin a clandestine love affair and Ethan feels torn apart between two women, whom he loves very much, but in very different ways. Will he choose the fiery passion with Annette or the gentle love and social life beside his official fiancée?"
Dana Samson, Resident Scholar
