by C. W. Quinn (Author)
A Chicago public school offers an outing to their junior high students called Symphony Day. A preteen female student, Grace, plans to attend. Grace has enjoyed the music of an orchestra many times; though, only before and after featured films or special television performances. The student experiences firsthand the power of music as she sits during the symphony orchestra performance on the outing to the symphony center. The music stays with Grace, reminding her of passed unpleasant and undesirable events, as well as her daily struggles with abuse at home. Grace's abusive stepdad, abused mother, and stepbrothers live in agitation and fright daily. Grace experiences mental and sexual abuse from her stepdad, but she develops a significant relationship with Ian, her boyfriend, and God. A close friendship later in life influences significant change. Grace's journey brings her happiness after a period of grief, two marriages, and three children. Finally, she is caught off guard when she learns that the father of her first born was not who she thought it was.
