The Lucy Variations

Once a talented concert pianist, Lucy Beck-Moreau's promising future is suddenly overshadowed by a tragedy and personal betrayal, leading her to walk away from music at age fourteen. Now sixteen, she faces new challenges as her younger brother Gus begins piano lessons with a sympathetic teacher who encourages her to rediscover her passion for music on her own terms. National Book Award finalist Sara Zarr delicately explores themes of resilience, self-discovery, and the importance of finding joy in imperfect moments.
