"You have to teach your heart and mind how to sing together…then you'll hear the sound of your soul." Mia Kelly thinks she has it all figured out. She's an Ivy League graduate, a classically trained pianist, and the beloved daughter of a sensible mother and offbeat father. Yet Mia has been stalling since graduation, torn between putting her business degree to use and exploring music, her true love. When her father unexpectedly dies, she decides to pick up the threads of his life while she figures out her own. Uprooting herself from Ann Arbor to New York City, Mia takes over her father's café, a treasured neighborhood institution that plays host to undiscovered musicians and artists. She's denied herself the thrilling and unpredictable life of a musician, but a chance encounter with Will, a sweet, gorgeous, and charming guitarist, offers her a glimpse of what could be. When Will becomes her friend and then her roommate, she does everything in her power to suppress her passions-for him, for music-but her father's legacy slowly opens her heart to the possibility of something more.

Upoznali smo se prije gotovo petnaest godina, kad sam selio stvari u sobu doma za studente četvrte godine Newyorškog sveučilišta, pokraj tvoje. Zvala si nas prijateljima na brzaka. Volim misliti da smo bili više od toga. Živjeli smo isključivo od uzbuđenja pronalaženja sebe kroz glazbu (bila si opsjednuta Jeffom Buckleyjem), fotografiju (nisam te mogao prestati snimati), druženje u parku Washingtonova trga i sve čudne stvari koje smo radili da zaradimo. Više sam o sebi naučio te godine nego ikada. No na kraju se ipak sve raspalo. Ljeto nakon diplome izgubili smo kontakt, kad sam za National Geographic otišao u Južnu Ameriku. Kad sam se vratio, nije te bilo. Dio se mene još pita nisam li te previše pritiskao nakon vjenčanja… Nisam te ponovno vidio do prije mjesec dana. Bila je srijeda. Ljuljala si se na petama i čekala vlak, balansirajući na onoj debeloj žutoj crti uzduž perona podzemne. Prekasno sam shvatio da si to ti. A onda si nestala. Ponovno. Izgovorila si moje ime, vidio sam ti na usnama. Pokušao sam snagom volje zaustaviti vlak, samo da bih te pozdravio. Pošto sam te vidio, kao da su svi osjećaji i sjećanja iz mladosti navrli natrag i većinu sam mjeseca razmišljao o tvom životu. Možda sam poludio, ali bi li otišla sa mnom na piće da popričamo o posljednjih petnaest godina?
