Natalie MacMaster never planned to write a book. A world-renowned Nova Scotia fiddler who grew up in a family of musicians, she picked up her first fiddle at nine and knew she’d play it for the rest of her life. But seven years ago, amid a world crowded with negative headlines, a phone call with her mother struck a chord–one that inspired her to tell her story through words.
“I remember phoning my mom, and she lives in Cape Breton–a sweet little, quaint place in the world–and she was telling me about all this bad news at home,” MacMaster, a two-time Juno Award-winner, Grammy nominee, and recipient of the Order of Canada, told The Epoch Times in an interview.
