He wished it hadnt.
Stephen Ingalls has quite enough on his plate. Starting his freshman year at Clarkstowne High Schoola tough enough challenge for any young manhe finds that he and his friend Doug have been given the unprecedented opportunity to become the first student conductors of the high school orchestra. Dr. Donaldson, their teacher and mentor, will help them push the limits of their talents while weathering the storm of controversy and opposition to this innovative program.
When Stephen meets Jason Anderson, he seems to know instinctively that the young man will also be important to him this new school year. It isnt that Jason is using a wheelchair, nor even that the boy is still grieving the loss of his best friend, Tonykilled in the same accident that caused Jason to lose the use of his legs. Jason has lost something else: The connection to a musical ability that Stephen is certain still burns inside.
Jason is convinced that his music died with Tony, with the violina twin to his owndamaged in the accident. Doctors are certain that Jasons paralysis is psychological, that he could walk if only they could find and treat the dark blockage in his mind. Stephen, determined not to let either talent or hope disappear, must find the way to mend the pieces of the broken heartand the broken violinto help Jason overcome the past and live beyond the day the music died.
M. Bradley Davis’ sixth grade English teacher made a mistake. She introduced him to poetry (Thank you, Mrs. Foster!). Since then, Mr. Davis has learned he isn’t a poet. However, he loves telling stories. Mr. Davis wrote short stories during high school. Novels appeared toward the end of college.
Mr. Davis became a teacher and taught fourth grade for thirteen years. He taught all the usual subjects, and added courtesy, honesty, respect, and truthfulness, too. Mr. Davis was listed in Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers, and twice listed in Who’s Who Among Young American Professionals. Today, he serves in the school district’s technology department.
His former students inspire Mr. Davis’ characters. He enjoys spending time with young people, and finds tidbits for his stories in the people around him. Mr. Davis is active in his church. His hobbies include reading, writing, amateur astronomy, and photography.
This is Mr. Davis’ seventh book published through AuthorHouse. Tunnel Of Dreams is a short fantasy novel. The Hand in the Mirror, The Canopus Conundrum, and Encounter at Lalor are the volumes in the MindFusion series. A Spark of Magic is the first book in the Musica Con Fuoco series about gifted musicians. The Enchanted Rapiers is historical fantasy that leads cousins into their family’s past, and is the first book in the Swords Through Time series.
The Hand in the Mirror was a Fiction-SciFi finalist in the 2003 ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year competition, and Encounter at Lalor was an Award Finalist in the National Best Book Awards 2008 Competition.
