A Spark of Magic

Not Even Rural West Virginia Can Hide The Talents Of A Modern-Day Mozart. Stephen Is A Thirteen-Year-Old Ward Of The State-And A Runaway Who Knows Exactly What He Is And What He Wants. He'S A Gifted Musician Who Wants A Career In Music. Who He Is Doesn'T Seem Important-Until His Foster Parents Refuse To Believe In His Musical Gift. Now The Lack Of A Last Name And Need For A Solid Identity Hover In His Dreams. He Grew Up In A Small Town Orphanage. His Foster Home Of The Past Few Months Was In Another Small Town. He'D Left One And Couldn'T Go Back To The Other; The Only Place Remaining Was Clarkstowne-The Big City A Few Miles Away. He Knew No One In Clarkstowne Yet He'D Go There And Search For Someone Who Might Understand His Need. Stephen'S Simple I Am What I Am I Need What I Need Will Change The Perceptions Of Many People Beginning With The Conductor Of A Respected Symphony Orchestra A Lonely Boy The Musicians With Whom He Interacts The Friends He Makes Along The Way And The Caseworkers And State Officials Who Must Straighten Out The Controversy Centering On Him.
