A Dream Keeper...

"Something was not right in Bobe's old house on St. James Place. First there was the uneasy silence between Becka's parents, Patrick and Judith's bewilderingly generous praise for her daughter's musical talent. And finally, most misteryously, there was Becka's great-grandmother's baffling determination to move from her memory-laden old house to a nursing home.As Becka struggles to unravel all these tangled threads, she stumbles upon yet another secret-an acount of Bobe's Polish childhood, rich in music and in dreams, and of her youthful journey across the ocean to America. For Becka, Bobe's past casts a revealing light on the present and gives her the confidence to take the first steps in shaping her own future."In my opinion, this is a great book, which at the beginning seems boring but as the story unveals and Bobe's past is revealed. It gets very interesting. An awesome story. You should read it...
