Description:

Willie Steinberg, the protagonist of Heart and Soul, a book for ages 12 and older, is a promising 17-year-old cellist and composer who's left her arty school in Philadelphia for a long, lousy summer in Virginia with her hapless mother. Her father is home most of the time and Willie hangs around a lot; the stifling heat of Richmond often doesn't allow for more. But she also involves herself with friends confronting their entry into adulthood. As Willie looks for the inspiration to write a symphony, she sinks lower into what could be called depression. Yet nothing is so clear in Heart and Soul as a clinical description; there's just the unsightly gray of teenage lament.
