Watching the Music Dance — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Suze loves her music. She hides in it when her parents fight.

But when the fights end in divorce, the divorce brings an end to the music -- obtained illegally by Suze's mother.

Now Nils, Suze's father, must quickly find a way to save his daughter's music -- and her sanity -- without breaking the law.

“Rusch creates a near-future which is horrifying in its plausibility, especially the no-supermen element, and the characters are so immediate; I finished this with tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat, and I suspect it would hit parents even harder. This is really powerful, and really strong.”

“A heartwarming and heartbreaking story of the prices a child and their parents make when radical technology is thrust upon a young girl.”
