Tom Thorson can't back away from a challenge-even though he knows that that's exactly the reason why he always gets in trouble with his parents.But he cannot help himself, not when Carl dares him to break into his father's study and steal an expensive bottle of whiskey, and especially not when his girlfriend's honor is questioned and his own identity insulted.He even steals his dad's collectible car and goes on an illegal midnight car race... which doesn't end well, because things for Tom Thorson never seem to do, despite his classmates considering him to be a popular guy. He just cares too much about what other people think of him, and no one can get under his skin the way Carl does.But, after he angers his father beyond belief, he is sent out to a boys only boarding school up in Maine, a boarding school that doesn't allow any technology to be used by its students, a boarding school that sounds so horrible that Tom honestly doesn't know how he is going to make it out of there alive.And then he accidentally finds an old iPod Shuffle that contains ethereal music, the likes of which he hadn't heard ever in his life... and is completely mesmerized right away.Can music be the key to unlocking his deepest secret? And will music be able to save his soul and finally guide him to the embrace of his true love?© 2021 Valerian L. GerouxAll rights reserved.
