Book Synopsis The Year of Leland Thomson by : Cary Franklin Smith
Download or read book The Year of Leland Thomson written by Cary Franklin Smith and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-08-17 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leland Thomson had a dream. For most of his life he had heard something calling to him from the distance to follow that dream. He was willing to follow, if even for just a short time, just to see what was out there, who was out there, calling his name. But how? Along with the dream, Leland also had the gift. He played the cello with a passion and sensitivity that, once he was discovered, confounded the established musical community. How could this poor, sawmill boy from the Hills of Arkansas play with grace and culture beyond not only his sixteen years but his circumstance? His Momma said he had the gift. The skill that came from the gift was confusing enough to Ralph Watkins, the man who discovered Leland, but even harder to accept was Leland's commitment to give honor to the Giver of that gift in prayer before he played. Ralph arranged Leland to play at Carnegie Hall in New York. Could he persuade Leland to forgo this practice for this one performance? And if he did, could Leland play? Leland's story is one of accepting ones culture, ones dreams, ones beliefs. Could a country boy make it in the city? Could a dream given to a nobody be realized and not wasted? Could ones beliefs remain firm when challenged by opposing social standards? Could there be a musical genius who would astound the world if only discovered? The Year of Leland Thomson is a captivating story full of country charm and wit. It is appropriate for all ages but will have special meaning to those trying to find their place in the world.
Book Synopsis Leland Thomson: by : Cary Franklin Smith
Download or read book Leland Thomson: written by Cary Franklin Smith and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-06 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s January 1960. Leland Thomson plays his cello with incredible passion and sensitivity, demonstrating a skill that far outstretches his age and circumstance. The cello came from his uncle, but the gift was from God. Attached to the gift was a dream to play before vast audiences, a dream that seemed well beyond the reach of a sixteen-year-old boy from the hills of Arkansas. Life is a challenge in the hills, even more so if you are sawmill trash. Your lot is cast low and thrusts upon you daily challenges of race, poverty, abuse, and mistrust. Only by strong convictions do the Thomsons manage a simple yet contented lifestyle. On a trip into town, they meet Ralph Watkins, a regent at the New York Conservatory of Music. When Ralph hears Leland play, he outlays a plan to have Leland play at Carnegie Hall. But when Ralph discovers Leland’s practice of praying each time he plays, to honor the source of the gift, Ralph demands he stop, only to realize what he asks separates Leland from that which gives him his identity and ability. Leland Thomson: A Gift, a Cello and a Dream is a captivating story full of country charm and wit. It follows Leland as he fulfills his dream while proving where you come from matters less than who you are.
