"In the rustic town of Aldminster, a divisive crisis looms. Funds are short and the cathedral is in need of major repair. Some hope to finance the work by abolishing the boys' choir; others vow to save the archaic but beloved tradition.

Drawn into the fray is an extraordinary cast of characters, including housewife Sally Ashworth. The lonely mother of a ten-year-old chorister, Sally meanders through her quiet, solitary life. She is anchored only by her unexpected love for the choirmaster and by her young son, whose melodic voice may be the only thing that can unite a divided community."
