About this listen

Classically trained pianist and singer Natalie Curtis isolated herself for five years after a breakdown just before she was to debut with the New York Philharmonic. Guilt-ridden and songless, Natalie can't seem to recapture the joy music once brought her. In 1902, her brother invites her to join him in the West to search for healing. What she finds are songs she'd never before encountered - the haunting melodies, rhythms, and stories of Native Americans.

But their music is under attack. The US government's Code of Offenses prohibits American's Indigenous people from singing, dancing, or speaking their own languages, as the powers that be insist on assimilation. Natalie makes it her mission not only to document these songs before they disappear but to appeal to President Teddy Roosevelt himself, who is the only man with the power to repeal the unjust law. Will she succeed and step into a new song...and a new future?

Award-winning author Jane Kirkpatrick weaves yet another lyrical tale based on a true story that will keep listeners captivated to the very end.

I like the storyline but the girl Natalie is so introspective it just bugged me. The narrator was not good at all so I didn’t enjoy the book and did not finish it.

I read all Jane Kirkpatrick’s books-I really enjoy the way she takes an historical person and weaves the story of how it might have played out. But though the characters and history were all very interesting, this book was a little tedious. And the woman who performed it was so staccato, it was like a robotic voice. I recommend her other books, but can’t recommend this one.

Not Jane’s best
