Synopsis: The music was a glory, a wondrous thing entirely. Sometimes-it was like a graceful bird, winging up and over the clouds. Other times, it was more _ like shiny coins tumbling out of an angels knapsack. Sometimes—and to Maggie these were the best times of all-it was like a happy Waterfall, pouring down from heaven itself over the town, washing away the ugly black coal dust that coated the unpainted company houses and the laundry on the clotheslines—and even a body’s hair.” Welcome to Skingle Creek, a Kentucky coal mining town in the late 1800s, where a beloved teacher hovers on the precipice between hope and despair...Where two young friends plan to give a gift that may save a life... .Where a one-room schoolhouse provides the setting for a miracle.
