Description
A struggling composer senses a chance to get back on track and rekindle an old flame—even if it means hiding the truth of his failures—in this charming romance inspired by a historical figure from the bestselling author of Freedom's Song.
When Gilbert Baty leaves his childhood love and moves to New York City in 1901 to secure his place as a composer and conductor, he is met with rejection at every turn. Out of funds and opportunities, he returns to his hometown, the Mennonite community of Falke, Kansas, in the hopes of finding new inspiration—and work—just to tide him over until he can go back to New York for a second chance at success.
Ava Flaming never expected to see Gil again, and his sudden return stirs the old feelings she’d worked so hard to bury. When Gil forms the town’s first youth band and Ava is forced into frequent contact with Gil, she consoles herself with the knowledge that he won’t be there for long—only for the summer. However, when Ava sees how wonderful Gil is with the town’s children and how confidently he leads the band, she finds herself falling for him all over again.
When the boys band agrees to compete in a statewide contest, Gil sees his opportunity to gain repute as a conductor and finally secure his place among the New York City elite. He's sure the band can win first place with an original love song he wrote for Ava. But if the boys play it in the competition, it might cost him Ava’s heart…again.
