A widow takes her twelve year old daughter out of school and isolates her from the world. The second book of a unique and deeply emotional memoir by a woman named Carmen Angelina Coletti, a prodigy who was taken out of school at the end of her fifth grade year and isolated on her mother's farm.
Abused since early childhood, her music is her refuge, with a gift for composition so complete that she is likely the world's first female great composer, some believing her to be the most gifted composer of all time. Her introverted, poetic voice uncovers the extremes of what happened to a daughter who was raised in isolation, by a mother driven to madness by grief.
