Emma Belle lives with her alcoholic father in a small trailer in Virginia. She plays the violin, and finds solace only in her mothers quilt and in her music. Emma's mother passed away when she was eight years old, and Emma, or her father, haven't been the same since her mother's passing. Emma's mother always told her she could beat this world. Her and Emma. Just the two of them. But how could Emma possibly beat a world with an alcoholic father, a dead mother, no friends, and just her mothers quilt and a violin?
Rhododendron and Pumpkin Spice is a story of solace in music. Finding the courage inside of you to beat anything that comes in your way. That you have to be brave when nobody else is brave for you, and to remember that you're never alone even when you think your world, is crashing down.
