This is a story about a girl who wants more than anything to play the violin. However, Elva has to pretend, since her parents do not approve. Elva rehearses for make believe recitals in lieu of brushing her teeth, going to bed or learning her subtraction. The music stays in her head as she imagines being able to travel the world playing her violin. Many years go by as Elva grows up and her life fills with other jobs and satisfactions, but she remains true to her dream, takes a deep breath and follows that childhood dream.
