Heartwarming, though the writing is awkward. The authors write this to sound like a conversation, I believe, and it can be confusing, following the thoughts of one or the other. If the reader can get past the writing style there is much wisdom and grace to be found here.

As a singer who came to God because of song I truly resonated to much of this book. As a fan of the Indigo Girls I wished for a bit more about the two of them (can't help it!) but that's not the point. This is about father Don and daughter Emily, two people coming from two different traditions of music and finding where their "songlines" join up, and showing us how Saturday night music and Sunday morning music can bring us equal joy and peace.

Disappointing. I loved the premise so much, but the writing throughout the book was dry and almost clinical. The only parts with any real feeling or connection to the authors were the "journaling" parts. Such a shame.
