How should a genius be educated, and what kind of education should such a person seek? What about the above average and the so-so? How should the individual genius expect to be treated by parents and educators? Set in a New England boarding school with back history in San Francisco, The Song Alone tells the story of Marianne Fallbrook, musical prodigy and natural athlete, in her quest to pursue a conventional education. Having left home in the hope of leaving some personal problems behind, she finds that she has landed in an institution with its own assorted problems. Dealing with these conflicts and her own internal conflict of having no wish for fame while the outside world discovers her ability at the piano and on the basketball court, Marianne pursues her goals with a unique single-mindedness.
