"Sometimes all it takes is one person, no matter how insignificant, to look at the world differently. Then invite others to do the same."

As a musician, I don't usually gravitate toward music-themed books, but I felt like The Lost Melody was really well done! I also loved the general advocacy for mental health and for people with disabilities. It was a bit cheesy at times, and I personally could have done without the numerous religious references, but a great read overall! 

Be the light in the darkness.
