This book is an emotional read. It's so sad. Ray is a great violinist! His mother hates that he plays and wants money. He faces racism at every turn.  The only light is his grandmother. She tells a story about her grandfather playing a fiddle like Ray plays the Violin.  She loves hearing Ray play. She gives Ray the fiddle and asks him to use that as his instrument.  When Ray has the instrument cleaned and appraised he finds out it is a rare Violin worth millions.  Ray wants to honor his grandmother and great grandfather and play the instrument.  Everyone else has other ideas.
