Have you ever lived your whole life chasing after a dream? Amy’s dream is to play in a symphony. After many, many years her dream finally becomes a reality, only to realize that someone on the symphony is trying to ruin it. Amy uses her haphazard sleuth abilities to uncover the mystery.
Amy Johnson is a single mom of a teen-age daughter. She is cranky, with few people skills. Her drive to be successful only results in a strained relationship with the people closest to her. Amy has kept family secrets from her daughter, and in order to restore her relationship with her daughter and to solve the mystery of the symphony Amy is finally forced to face them.
Sharon gives us a glimpse inside the mind of a non-Christian viewing Christians around them. She displays how Amy comes to feel God pursuing her through her passion of music. As a reader we can see past Amy’s lack of people skills, to a desire to aggressively go after what matters. No matter where our interests lie, music, literature, sports, etc., God finds a way to communicate to us. This book will make you laugh, and you will see the underlying theme that God loves us so much that He will meet us right where we are.
