(Book)

"Good Morning America book club"--Jacket.

"A novel"--Jacket.

"Ray McMillian loves playing the violin more than anything, and nothing will stop him from pursuing his dream of becoming a professional musician. Not his mother, who thinks he should get a real job, not the fact that he can't afford a high-caliber violin, not the racism inherent in the classical music world. And when he makes the startling discovery that his [great-]great-grandfather's fiddle is actually a priceless Stradivarius, his star begins to rise. Then with the International Tchaikovsky Competition--the Olympics of classical music--fast approaching, his prized family heirloom is stolen. Ray is determined to get it back. But now his family and the descendants of the man who once enslaved Ray's [great-]great-grandfather are each claiming that the violin belongs to them"--,Provided by publisher.
