From the publisher

When I was twelve, I made a naïve, yet desperate pact with God to keep my ailing mother alive. It was the first time I’d ventured something so brazen–making a contract with the Almighty…So begins the story of Becky Owens, a talented and passionate young pianist on the verge of adolescence when she learns the devastating news of her mother’s critical illness. As the daughter of a country preacher in Lancaster County, Becky knows well the significance of sacrifice, and in her bargain with God, she vows to exchange her most cherished possession for her mother’s life.Hospital rules only add to Becky’s sorrow–twelve-year-olds aren’t allowed to visit, so Becky and her mother must share tearful smiles through Lancaster General’s sunroom window. But a realization of the power of music and a lesson in unconditional love compel Becky to rethink her “deal” with God, and the sunroom becomes a place where miracles happen…
