Yet after marrying, her husband insists the family emigrate from Russia to America--and loses her piano in the process.In 2012, in Bakersfield, California, twenty-six-year-old Clara Lundy has to find a new apartment after breaking up with yet another bad boyfriend. Her living situation is complicated by the last gift her father gave her before he and her mother died in a terrible house fire- a Bl thner upright she has never learned to play. Now a talented and independent auto mechanic, Clara's career is put on hold when she breaks her hand trying to move the piano, and in sudden frustration she decides to sell it. Only in discovering the identity of the buyer--and the secret history of her piano--will Clara be set free to live the life of choosing.
