Playing by Ear (Country Roads #1)

First Loves, First Loses, and Finding a Place in the World. Plus Music.
After spending his young life traveling with his musician father, Charlie Nelson has roots for the first time. Living with his mother in a small Appalachian town in western North Carolina, Charlie struggles to find his place in this new world, which isn’t without challenges. Living in poverty, dealing with bullies, and having no friends, Charlie’s new life is anything but a fairytale. If it were up to Charlie, he’d stay at home and do the one thing he loves, playing his guitar … but life doesn’t always give us what we want.
