    Summary

    Ten-year-old Faina Rozanova has survived more than most children her age. She learned young how to dress herself, cook basic meals, and raise her baby brother, Grisha Rozanov. But when tragedy strikes, Faina's fragile world collapses. Suddenly orphaned, she and Grisha find themselves caught in the impersonal machinery of Russia's child protection system as they face an uncertain future in an unknown country with an Uncle who is a stranger.

    Still hiding their love from the world, Ilya and Shane must find the courage to reach across continents- and beyond their own fears- to rescue Ilya's niece and nephew and provide the pair with the understanding, love, and stability they need so desperately in a world that has otherwise demanded too much from them too soon.

    Summary

    Ilya’s fine. He’s sure of it. Sure maybe he threw up a few times, and he’s colder than he’s ever been but he’s fine. Russians don’t get sick.

    Summary

    "Classical music just makes sense to me," Shane sighs, unable to think up an explanation he can turn into words. "It's structured, it's rigid... it's timeless."

    Ilya spun one of his drumsticks in his hands as he got up from his seat.

    "It, Hollander, is boring." He walked towards Shane with an unbreakable stride, stopping when they were face-to-face. Shane felt himself tremble a bit inside.

    "And so are you."

    (an ambitious violinist and a careless drummer. who falls first and who will fall harder?)
