Excellent book!!! 549 pages long, but you will not get tired of reading it. It's a great story with very intriguing characters. There is an immigrant family struggling to make it in the new country, a raga muffin street girl trying to change her ways , a lonely Scottish physician who falls in love, a blind musical genius who is the main character, and many more.. This takes place in the 19th century in New York city. A wonderful historical romance story.
Great book, learned and felt a lot. I highly recommend it!

This is a wonderful 3 book saga from B J Hoff. The people are all very real & deal with real struggles both of faith & physically. Interwoven throughout the stories of a musician, a physician to the poor, an itinerate worker & his family is the delightful poems & presence of the great hymn writer Fanny Crosby. Music is at the center but there is intrigue & struggles & people around the main characters that make the stories that much fuller & real.
