This music tells the story of a young girl: her gift of second sight, escape from persecution, and a secret journal sewn in pieces into a patchwork quilt in Salem, Massachusetts over 200 years ago. Inspired by a true story, this is a quietly powerful piece, intuitively bringing optimism to the darkest of tales.

Composed as a school assignment, this is Emily’s first piece for flute.
