Season of the Swan

The love story is told with a refreshingly male bent, yet it is unlike most male romances (Love Story, Bridges of Madison County, and The Notebook) because it actually has a happy ending! Kate Saarinen is a concert violinist who escapes the Pacific Northwest to find fame and fortune in New York City. At a pivotal point in her musical career, Kate wants to offer young musicians the opportunity she didn't have, so she accepts a week-long teaching position in a country school near the town where she grew up. While she's in Washington State, Kate falls in love with a burly violin building ex-fisherman, and is forced to face the demons that have haunted her throughout her adulthood.
