Music became the catalyst through which she learned to understand herself, the common thread woven through a life anchored in family and friendship. In this debut memoir, the author reflects on the role music has played throughout her life, from listening to Top 40 tunes as a teen in the 1980s to navigating her chosen career in a field that is music-based without being performance-based. Her discoveries-about both herself and her relationships-are universal. \u003cem\u003eGrace Notes\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of a life composed, like a piece of music, by a woman approaching her fiftieth birthday, as she goes through a time of great personal change in a world that's in flux. It's both messy and graceful, a tune with familiar strains that is ultimately a melody all its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katie M.
