Summary
"Its the early days of the new millennium, and Laura has arrived in New York Citys East Village in the hopes of recording her first album. A songwriter with a one of a kind talent, shes just beginning to book gigs with her beautiful best friend when she falls hard for a troubled but magnetic musician whose star is on the rise. Their time together is stormy and short lived, but will reverberate for the rest of Lauras life. Fifteen years later, Lauras teenage daughter, Marie, is asking questions about her father, questions that Laura does not want to answer. Laura has built a stable life in Brooklyn that bears little resemblance to the one she envisioned when she left Ohio all those years ago, and shes taken pains to close the door on what was and what might have been. But neither her best friend, now a famous musician who relies on Lauras songwriting skills, nor her depressed and searching daughter will let her give up on her dreams. Funny, wise, and tenderhearted, Perfect Tunes explores the fault lines in our most important relationships, and asks whether dreams deferred can ever be reclaimed. It is a delightful and poignant tale of music and motherhood, ambition and compromise, of life, in all its dissonance and harmony"--, Provided by publisher
