This book is a dramatic tale of grief and loss, but more importantly of healing. The author shows how music can lead to a journey of wholeness and self discovery. The characters are well developed as are their relationships. It is about family interactions, and how we create our chosen families.

And This Shall Be For Music is a story of friendship, tragedy, love, romance and music all woven into a really well-done plot where you’re never sure how it will all turn out. Worth every minute of the read!” -READER

I have read a number of books over the years that deal with grieving the death of a loved one, but most of them treat the subject superficially. This is not the case for And This Shall Be For Music. I would recommend this book for anyone who loves music, but especially for readers dealing with a personal loss. It is an inspirational book that can help someone who is wondering, “How will life go on?” -Amazon Review
