Hilary has written a novel of timeless charm and local interest. Music, love, and a new beginning--an American story, a very HUMAN story. And that's what got us at the The Artists Hand so enthused. We aspire to accentuate the universal human stories. After losing his grandfather and the family vineyard in Italy, 1911, a young Italian composer who’s never ventured beyond his grandfather’s pervasive influence seeks a new start in America. Inspired by a true story of a musician in an Ernest PA coal mine. More information about From Ashes to Song.
