Description
Grace S. Richmond's 1906 novel The Second Violin opens with a crash, as John Lansing Birch lays down his viola in despair during The March of the Pilgrims. Book one follows the second violin, book two the Churchill latch-string. Richmond, known for Red Pepper Burns, writes domestic fiction with humor and heart.
Dr. Andrew Churchill loses his first patient in private practice, a young mother, and faces a baby not yet two years old left behind. Friends argue over adopting other people's children, while Churchill, frank and genial, turns steely when challenged. A hospital visit shows convalescents, not grave cases, to a young visitor. The novel is a warm tale of music, medicine, and family duty.
