The Grim Reaper's scythe barely missed his head. He wished it
hadn't. Stephen Ingalls has quite enough on his plate. Starting his
freshman year at Clarkstowne High School-a tough enough challenge
for any young man-he finds that he and his friend Doug have been
given the unprecedented opportunity to become the first student
conductors of the high school orchestra. Dr. Donaldson, their
teacher and mentor, will help them push the limits of their talents
while weathering the storm of controversy and opposition to this
innovative program. When Stephen meets Jason Anderson, he seems to
know instinctively that the young man will also be important to him
this new school year. It isn't that Jason is using a wheelchair,
nor even that the boy is still grieving the loss of his best
friend, Tony-killed in the same accident that caused Jason to lose
the use of his legs. Jason has lost something else: The connection
to a musical ability that Stephen is certain still burns inside.
Jason is convinced that his music died with Tony, with the violin-a
twin to his own-damaged in the accident. Doctors are certain that
Jason's paralysis is psychological, that he could walk if only they
could find and treat the dark blockage in his mind. Stephen,
determined not to let either talent or hope disappear, must find
the way to mend the pieces of the broken heart-and the broken
violin-to help Jason overcome the past and live beyond the day the
music died.
