Music of the Soul Gail Miller Mahaffey

Concert pianist Meredith Mason is leading her peers as the successful new talent in the music world, concertizing across the globe with rave reviews. She treasures the gift of her connection to music. She thrives on it. But after reaching the pinnacle of professional music success, she contemplates her life's purpose. Are we here just to live, die, and be gone forever? What is it all for? Did the brightness of the candle mean anything after the flame was extinguished?

She leaves the hustle and bustle of life in NYC and accepts a teaching and concertizing position on the faculty of a small but musically well-known college in upstate South Carolina. Here she meets cellist Evan Sanders, who helps her ponder life and its meaning. She then finds herself open to fresh new possibilities in her thinking, and perhaps a new love.

Music of the Soul takes Meredith and the reader to concertize in the Old World City of Prague, Czech Republic, and the iconic American city of San Francisco. After a chance meeting with Mother Theresa in Rome and a friendship with the local priest Father Flanagan in South Carolina, she is able to arrange her priorities and discover what is really important in life. Be ready to enjoy the music as you join Meredith on her journey inward.
