The Solo That Followed Me Home

About this book

In contemporary Memphis, twelve-year-old Tori Madden has spent years being celebrated as Pilgrim Heights Middle School Choir's astonishing featured soprano. When puberty abruptly reshapes her voice in the middle of a rehearsal, the identity she has learned to perform for everyone else begins to fall apart. Told in interwoven October and last-spring timelines, Tori's story follows her strained former friendship with Shuri Mayweather, her uneasy connection with tenor DeShawn Bell, and her family's determination to preserve a version of her she no longer recognizes. As a new school performance approaches, Tori must decide whether music is something she can still own when it no longer sounds the way it used to.
