      A journey to the American South in search of friendship, life lessons and bluegrass.

      Can you feel nostalgic for a life you''ve never known?

      Suffused with her much-loved warmth and wit, Emma John''s memoir follows her moving and memorable journey to master one of the hardest musical styles on earth - and to find her place in an alien world.

      Emma had fallen out of love with her violin when a chance trip to the American South introduced her to bluegrass music. Classically trained, highly strung and wedded to London life, Emma was about as country as a gin martini. So why did it feel like a homecoming?

      Answering that question takes Emma deep into the Appalachian mountains, where she uncovers a hidden culture that confounds every expectation - and learns some emotional truths of her own.
