The Understudy

by Carol Whitfield

Margaret has been the church choir's accompanist for thirty-one years and has never once sung a note in public. When a younger, brasher director arrives determined to modernize everything, Margaret finds herself fighting for a place she's no longer sure wants her — and discovering, late and unexpectedly, the voice she set aside as a girl. A warm late-bloomer drama about being overlooked and refusing to disappear.
