Quotes from the Novel (about Yasmin):

"Juilliard, the prestigious music school, had turned her down twice, and the disappointment ran deep. That one failed note, she thought to herself, and she sighed when remembering how her fingers had failed her at the keyboard. With that one moment, her dreams had been shattered.
