Growing up in Virginia’s Allegheny Mountains, eleven-year-old Charlie York lives at the foot of an endless peak called Angel’s Rest, a place his momma told him angels rested before coming down to help folks. In 1967 his town was a poor boy’s paradise…until a shotgun blast killed Charlie’s father and put his mother on trial for murder.

For mysterious reasons, his mother entrusts his care to an old black man named Lacy Albert Coe. Lacy tells simple stories about the good and the bad that compose life’s sweetest music. But when a reclusive Korean War veteran is linked to his father’s death and Lacy is victimized by hate crimes, Charlie hears only silence. It’s not until Charlie embarks on a dangerous midnight journey pitting him against his darkest fears that he finally hears his own song playing out.
