The Room by the Lake
All she wanted was somewhere to belong. Caitlin never meant to stay so long. But it's strange how this place warps time.

What follows is a two-decades-long journey through war and peace, love and betrayal, art and artifice -- a rare ensemble in the making of the music of a life.
