Winter, 1892

A Distant MusicÂthe story of a small town where coal dust soils more than the laundry on the clothesline and the paint on the company housesÂwhere concern for a needy neighbor and a sick child have come to take a backseat to the struggle for survivalÂwhere things of beauty and grace are buried beneath the silent desperation that holds an entire community in its gripÂwhere the one man who might make a difference hovers on the precipice between hope and despairÂand where a one-room schoolhouse provides the setting for a miracle.

In the Kentucky mining community called Skingle Creek, two childhood friends give a gift that may restore the hope of their families and save the life of their beloved teacher.

A Distant Music transcends time and place, age and circumstance, tragedy and struggle. It also marks the prelude to a very special love story. One you will never forget.
