Synopsis

America's folk poet, Claire McGill will awe and inspire you. This is the amazing story of a 24-year-old country girl and mother of two who has spent six years being abused by her alcoholic husband. Yet she finds the strength to move beyond her "singlewide life" and discover her voice as a poet. At the community college, Claire meets creative writing teacher Tyler Elkin, author of This Side of Somewhere Else. With the help of her poetry club and Tyler, Claire’s mind begins to “catch fire.” But she must come to grips with her husband’s affair with a "Christian cougar" and her own attraction to Storm Eagle, a handsome American Indian. The Music We're Born Remembering is a hilarious freehand sketch of working class America, the rural, roots America of cinderblock juke joints, Big Lots, meth labs, and rock n’ roll churches with big-ass sound systems. So imagine a landscape where mobile homes dot the hillsides, a place where young moms like Claire are usually immobilized for the better part of their dream-trodden lives, at least until a charismatic poetry professor comes to their rescue. Prepare to be delighted by a young woman who seems oh so familiar and yet defies description. The Music We're Born Remembering is unlike any story you have read in years - funny, sexy, inspiring, and totally unpredictable.
