 violin more than anything\, and nothing will stop him from pursuing his dr
 eam of becoming a professional musician. Not his mother\, who thinks he sh
 ould get a real job\, not the fact that he can't afford a high-caliber vio
 lin\, not the racism inherent in the classical music world. And when he ma
 kes the startling discovery that his great-grandfather's fiddle is actuall
 y a priceless Stradivarius\, his star begins to rise. Then with the intern
 ational Tchaikovsky Competition-the Olympics of classical music-fast appro
 aching\, his prized family heirloom is stolen. Ray is determined to get it
  back. But now his family and the descendants of the man who once enslaved
  Ray's great-grandfather are each claiming that the violin belongs to them
 . With the odds stacked against him and the pressure mounting\, will Ray e
 ver see his beloved violin again?"&nbsp\; From the publisher.</p>\n<p>This
