What if Beethoven had taken up his commission to write a Biblical oratorio in America? This thought-provoking novel explores an intriguing "what if" scenario, imagining how the composer's life might have unfolded if he had traveled to the United States as a child.
In this unique and imaginative tale, Beethoven forms connections with two women who help him navigate his creative journey.

Meanwhile, the composer's hosts' children bring laughter and joy into his life.
This captivating story brings Beethoven back to the fullness of life, exploring themes of creativity, connection, and the power of human relationships. With its fresh perspective on a famous figure, this novel offers a compelling look at an alternate path in history.
