I Always Hear Music is based on a true story. It takes place in
southern Indiana on the campus of Indiana University. The backdrop
of the story is overshadowed by a war brewing in Europe. The story
starts in 1912 right after the sinking of the Titanic. The theme
focuses on young love when a couple meets by chance. This story
would have been lost if it were not for the letters a young man
wrote home to his mother while he was away at college. They were
stored in her sewing box and were later moved to the attic where
they stayed for four generations. Also in the sewing box were
newspaper clippings, graduation announcements and his college photo
album. This book contains only a sampling of the pictures from the
album. Some of the letters are included in this book as they were
written. Others were used for the plot. But it is an amazing story
of love and courage. Theresa Palek is a former teacher and
environmentalist who returned to her first love, writing. She was
born and raised in southern Indiana where her grandfather taught
her to listen to the music. When Theresa was a little girl, her
grandparent's attic was her favorite place to play. She spent
countless hours there examining the contents of the trunks, boxes,
and photo albums. The attic was full of neat stuff to investigate.
It was there that she found the sewing box of her great grandmother
full of letters. She did not read them then as she was too young to
read cursive but years later she found them again. This book is the
result of Theresa reliving her childhood with one more trip back
into the attic.
