The official review is very good. This is a story that captures attention because many people have grown up in an abusive household. Pursue your dreams and never give up. A good story to put on your to read list.

No other book has captivated me as this one did.The story of a mamma's boy in a world where half of his family doesn't understand his ambition or his dreams.His guilt over lying to his teacher and him trying to make up for it by leaving her flowers tucked at my heart.His pain when he thought that his mother might die brought tears to my eyes.Its not just the emotions but the realism of the book that captures your attention as well.Not too fast not too slow-just the perfect pace.The author has done an amazing job at it.Adding to my list of book I want.

This is a captivating book that talks about heavy life and how one got through it with music.

As someone that was born in a less privileged life, I'm sure I'll be able to relate to Joey. Although I don't think a story that centers on a musician, much less a trombonist, is something that I'd enjoy, this seems well-written and the storytelling, effective.

My first few words of this review have steered the hunger to read this book. I just want to find out how Joey deals with life's odd even though he comes from a not so good home.

Thanks for your review. I sampled the book, and yes, it's well written and realistic. However, I'm not very fond of Joey's behaviors. He seems a bit too spoiled.

He survived, he conquered and he achieved what he wanted against all odds. What an incredible book. Thank you for your very detailed review I will be on the look out for this one.
