This was such an interesting, uplifting read. I learned a lot about choirs, but certainly the most compelling part of this novel was the strength of these two women inpursuit of their dreams.

Quotes by Ana Veciana-Suarez (?)

“As she lived and suffered - was that redundant? - she discovered God in the most unusual places, sensed calm in the most tumultuous times. She had learned her way to and from, but especially through the dark passages of pain and regret. She had discovered how to sit still through the urgency of life.”
― Ana Veciana-Suarez, The Chin Kiss King
