Mountain Solo

by Jeanette Ingold

Mountain Solo is told from the perspective of Tess, a violin prodigy who messes up at an important concert and retreats to her father's home in Montana to examine her priorities. Intertwined is the story of a homesteading family whom Tess's archeologist stepmother is studying. This is a good read. I had trouble putting it down. This is one of those books that gives you an idea of what it would be like to be truly talented.
