YA
When sixteen-year-old Lucy impulsively quits an international piano competition, she jettisons a deeply-held family tradition, a lifestyle, and her career as a concert pianist. The novel's strength is Zarr's unflinching attention to the gray areas in Lucy's life, where adults are fallible, decisions are reversible, and passions can guide you forward or lead you astray.
