Description of  Song of Salzburg: Romance on the Orient Express

Publisher's Weekly says, "The romance is chaste, slow-building, and sweet, and Johnson makes both characters' love of music palpable. This is a treat." When talented violinist Freya Winter is chosen to take part in a musical celebration alongside some of the best instrumentalists in the world, she is thrilled. Performing in front of royalty is a breathtaking opportunity, but her true motivation for traveling to Salzburg is to fulfill an unlikely dream: to meet and train under the renowned Salzburg Maestro, a master musician shrouded in mystery. Freya travels aboard the Orient Express to practice with the newly formed orchestra in Salzburg, and nothing can distract her--not her mother's illness, nor her father's domineering ways however, when a handsome passenger becomes a regular fixture on her journeys, Freya feels her focus blurring. Conversation with Erich is easy, and their shared love of music draws them undeniably closer. But even as they open their hearts to each other, the harsh realities of her family life intrude on the future she's envisioned, and Freya feels her dreams slipping through her fingers, threatening to rob her of everything she cherishes most.
