Annotation

Lucy Lawerence is a beautiful and talented singer and composer and has been called a prodigy from an early age. She has a friend, Gracie Romani, whom she has known since the first grade. Gracie has had a rough life living with parents who are too busy with their business to pay any attention to her. She clings to Lucy's family, enjoying the love and friendship. After a tragedy in the Romani family, Gracie is invited to stay with Lucy. Lucy's music teacher secretly invites the scouts from the Juilliard school of music to listen to Lucy and her prodigy friend, Lewis. They are so impressed they offer them both a scholarship. Now the fun begins when both girls move to New York City.
