Then

Ingrid traveled all over Europe with her opera star Mother, Margot-Sophia. Life was beautiful and bright, and every day soared with music.

Now

Ingrid is on a summertime wilderness survival trek for at-risk teens: convicts, runaways, and her.

Then

When the curtain fell on Margot-Sophia’s singing career, they buried the past and settled into a small, painfully normal life. But Ingrid longed to let the music soar again.

Now

Ingrid is never going to make it through this summer if she can’t figure out why she’s here…and why the music really stopped.
