Description

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.
