Since the tragic death of his wife, Sofia, three years earlier, Baxter Shaw has stuffed away his memories and his grief in order to concentrate on raising their 8-year-old daughter Mia. He also leaves his passion of playing in a band and writing songs for running a building construction company. Sofia told him that she was adopted and wanted to find her birth parents, and only reached dead ends in her search. So Baxter is surprised when Sofia’s 23andMe DNA account showed a notification: A relative has sent you a message.
“It was the sweet taste of making music that pulled at him. He craved to play even a note or two that, if he let himself go, could rise up from deep within and travel through his fingers to the guitar in a way that would remind him that there was indeed magic out there. Back when he’d been on fire in his field, playing music, was like stepping into another dimension, as if the moment he’d played the first note of the day, he was opening up a door and stepping into space, being pulled up by his essence into the vastness of all that was out there.”
“The fixer, the title Sofia had always called him. ‘I don’t want you to fix it,’ she’d say. ‘I just want you to listen.’ Mia’s struggles weren’t about fixing. You didn’t fix your daughter’s grief. How had he not seen it. Mia didn’t want to be fixed; she did not need to be fixed. She needed a father who would listen. How had he missed all the signs. How had he forgotten what Sofia always said?”
