Elegy for Piano and Three Voices

When Alzheimer's takes Stacey's mother, Stacey gives up everything—her career, her music—to take care of her. Until one lonely night, when caretaking becomes too much, Stacy sits at the piano and plays Bach.

She hopes to escape into the comfort of classical music. But what she discovers in the music—about her mother, her family, herself—proves far more enlightening than she ever imagined.

"A joy of clarity and lyricism. [Rusch] is a new breed of writer: a Renaissance woman."
—Charles de Lint
