A Scratched, Dented Violin And A New Story
Years ago I was in a dusty, old violin shop in our downtown buying Adventurous Singing Daughter a violin.
She was very young and she loved playing the violin when she wasn’t playing outside. The one we bought was 80 years old. There were a few scratches and dents.
There was a slight stain that looked like blood in a butterfly shape. It played beautifully.
She loved it.
When I left that shop the spark for this story, The First Day Of The Rest Of My Life, was in my head and churning/spinning around.
It’s on sale for less than six bucks now.

I've loved all of your books. I am re-reading "A Different Kind of Normal" right now. I am a library fanatic and on't usually purchase my books...except when yours are published!
