Summary
Raised by a workaholic father who is a restaurateur, Yvonne, eighteen, faces difficult choices about love, her training as a violinist, college, and career as high school graduation draws near.
Yvonne's violin keeps her company, especially after her mother walked out on their family. With graduation just around the corner, she's beginning to question if she's good enough to attend a conservatory after high school. Full of doubt about her future, frustrated by her strained relationship with her successful but emotionally closed-off father, Yvonne meets a street musician and fellow violinist who understands her struggle. He's different from Warren, boy who has her heart. And when Yvonne becomes pregnant, she has to make the most difficult decision yet about her future. -- adapted from amazon.com
