Fiddler's Joy: 20th Anniversary Edition

Fiddler's Joy is historical fiction based on the experiences of the author's grandfather as a college student at the beginning of the 20th century. His fiddle literally became the instrument of his redemption from stress-induced mental illness. His story is a tribute to the strength of the human spirit and the power of love.

This 20th-anniversary edition is an "author’s cut”, incorporating expanded content and a new foreword. The author's original title Fiddler’s Joy has been restored, and the new cover shows the actual fiddle on which the story is based.

Not My Cup of Tea

I got this story via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. This story was told in memoir form in my estimation and history was intertwined within the story. The narration was so bland that in several places I had to rewind to hear the story. There were parts that did not resonate with me because I could not relate to them. I was glad that the author felt the need to tell the story as she did. There are times when something has to be told even if no one else understands. Kudos to the author.
