While the celebrated opera singer Terri Ivory is in hospital, facing what could be the end of her career, her daughter Julie stumbles upon a long-buried secret that forces her to question her past and her place in her mother's affection.
In their empty house that no longer seems like a home, mother and daughter try to keep their closeness to each other and to the men they love: damaged Teo, whose passion for Terri borders on the self-destructive, and Julie's first love, Alistair, who fails to predict the consequences of his decision to join the army.
When calamity strikes, all four must make vital choices to find their way forward. Can love and music heal when medicine cannot?
Genre: General Fiction
