Synopsis

A split-time romance from an award-winning author. When a choral composer and conductor falls victim to creative block, he resorts to his fallback plan of teaching high school choir. Callum Knight’s goal at Peterson High is simple: rediscover his muse, extract himself from teaching, and get back to Boston as quickly as possible. As the long-suffering accompanist at the high school, Peterson-native Blair Emerson has watched the revolving door of choir directors and their negative impact on her choirs over the last few years. She is less than impressed when a disheveled Callum stumbles in on his first day. But then they discover an unsigned, unfinished, and handwritten choral composition by a clear musical genius. Blair recalls rumors of Iris, a Peterson student from the 1970s who composed music but was found dead during her senior year. Blair and Callum work to determine if the piece is hers, and the truth they uncover shakes both of them to the core. With rhythm and flair, Amanda Wen takes readers on an unexpected journey into the depths of a small town’s history in this riveting first book in the Melodies and Memories duology.

Goodreads review by Charity on October 17, 2025

I'm a HUGE fan of Amanda Wen. She's one of my auto-buy authors. But this book in particular struck a chord with me (see what I did there?). From the opening line it had my full attention. But then when you add in a downtrodden character, a mystery from the past, and a shady answer or two in the pres......more

Goodreads review by Suzanne on October 01, 2025

This book went places I did not anticipate it going- and I am a better person for having read it. This book is a cautionary tale and a wake up call to discern what love truly is- that it is not all about giving and getting but about cherishing and being cherished by another. It takes many people yea......more

Goodreads review by Erin on September 29, 2025

I absolutely loved this story! I've loved everything that Amanda Wen has written and this was no different. Because I follow the author on social media, I know that she is a musician by trade, and so this story felt a bit more personal in that the heroine of the modern story line has the same day jo......more

Goodreads review by Scott County Library System on September 30, 2025

This review by librarian Christine Barth was first published in the September 2025 issue of Library Journal. Callum Knight is too young to be a washed-up composer, but ever since a personal tragedy during the pandemic, he has not written a single note. Unenthusiastically setting up a backup plan, he......more

Goodreads review by Gretchen on October 18, 2025

"Alone. She hadn’t said that last word, but it hung in the air just as clearly as the last echoes of a final chord." Blair loves getting to connect with students in the music department at her school. As the official accompanist, she knows what a good choir should sound like. But considering the fact......more
