Krátký popis
In 1982, a young girl joins an elite chorus called the Singing
Pines from a high school in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. After
performing at a Miami Dolphins football game, the group catches the
attention of the CIA, who invite them to appear on the Today Show.
The group is soon sent on a State Department-sponsored goodwill
mission to Poland, unaware of the ulterior motive behind their
tour. As they perform for captivated audiences, the Singing Pines
encounter challenges from Polish authorities, student unions, and
hostile regimes. Despite the language barrier and danger, the group
realizes their strength and what they can accomplish. Based on a
true story, this novel follows the journey of 16, 17, and
18-year-old American teenagers as they unwittingly become part of a
plan to help Poland achieve democracy through the subtle art of
influence and music. Narrated by the 17-year-old heroine, Jordan
Davis, the story is set in Florida, New York, Washington, D.C., and
various cities in Poland. Interspersed throughout the narrative are
historical references to real events, giving an accurate picture of
the U.S. government and Vatican involvement in the first cracks in
the iron curtain. With themes of bravery, diplomacy, and the power
of music, this is a captivating and inspiring story of how a group
of young Americans helped to bring down the iron curtain.
