Description
In the unsettled days of 1972, music is the steady focus of Ruth’s life and the high point of each college day. But when her happiness derails in the span of a few seconds time, Ruth is left to piece together a life that becomes fraught with confusion and emotional turmoil.
Paul has worked hard to school his stormy personality into a career that satisfies his love of music and a desire to teach. Yet his own actions threaten to rob him of his vocation, his reputation, and his view of himself. Confronting his own shortcomings was not part of his plans. But when he meets Ruth, everything changes.
Amid the challenges of life in the politically and socially turbulent 1970s, both must find comfort and support through the music they love and each other.

As a preface to what I'm about to say.....this is a well-written book. The characters are well-developed, it appears to be mostly historically-accurate, and it has some good themes about understanding others and opening our hearts. It's a good read.
That said, it also irritated me -- because this is my parent's generation, and this is the kind of crap they did. Me, me, me....rushing into something like this because it was all about what they wanted at the time. The epilogue of this book should be : 15 years later, they realize they never really knew each other and should never have married...they divorce and split the kids and house down the middle. I mean...SO MANY of our parents played out this exact scene...starting with the book and ending with my epilogue. If you don't have an emotional tie-in, then you'll probably enjoy the book a lot more.
