In one year, Stephanie Fagan married, began recording her second album, moved to Germany, sent her husband off to serve in Iraq for 8 months, returned to South Carolina, and completed <i>Heart Thief</i>. Read the full description.

Stephanie_small Stephanie Fagan's second record reflects the post-college, pre-marriage part of her life, in a comfortable adult limbo.  With lyrics ranging from a platonic love song to her former roommate, being hungover in a greasy spoon diner, to being irritated with herself for obsessing over a former love, Heart Thief is accessible and appealing to a wide range of folk music fans.  Although specific and personal, Fagan's writing appeals to many; everyone will find something to which he or she can relate.
