(3) 4-6 Reading her mother's childhood diary inspires twelve-year-old Livy Two Weems (Gentle's Holler) to run away to Nashville and audition her music. Her plan fails but does provoke her large and wonderfully imperfect family into much-needed collective action. Madden composes a nuanced sonata of three generations of women, showcasing the affections and rivalries that provide counterpoint to Livy Two's tunes.
