Donna Villani, co-owner of Laser Pace Technologies in St. Clair, has released her first novel.

"'The Capture of Art' is truly my dream come true," she said. "I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I did writing it!"

The book, "The Capture of Art," takes the reader inside the life of a young girl whose love saves a life.

According to the publisher, the story takes you through the life of the main character, Olivia Anne Webster, from the quiet farmlands of Kansas in the early 1900s to the busy life of New York.

Olivia Webster is born to loving parents who always showed their deep commitment to each other and their family, according to a release.

As a teenager, when her mother is incapable to care for her son, Webster tends to her baby brother, bringing her a great personal reward.

Later in life her inner beliefs are tested when she is forced to sacrifice her way of living to save a life.

About the Author

She is part owner/member of Laser Pace Technologies, LLC, an information technology provider located in St. Clair. Her novel "The Capture of Art" began through a dream after the death of her father in 1989 and was completed 12 years later.
