A Testament to Wind and Stone, (Paperback)

<strong>Twin brothers, separated at birth</strong><p></p><strong>One raised Christian, one raised Jewish</strong><p></p><strong>Reunited through the power of music</strong><p></p><p></p>This description refers to the large-print edition.<p></p><p></p><p>Identical twins Ari and Archer grow up worlds apart in the Texas Panhandle, each unaware of the other's existence. Ari is raised by a wealthy Jewish family in the oil business, while Archer is loved by a hardscrabble Christian ranching family. Yet both boys shared an inexplicable gift-music flows through their veins, inherited from their birth mother who is a renowned pianist.</p><p></p><p>The boys are prodigies who master instruments with ease, hearing melodies in the ordinary world around them: cattle mooing, coyotes howling, wind breathing through canyon stone, the rhythm of city traffic and sirens. Each boy follows his musical calling. </p><p></p><p>After a sports injury cripples his left hand, Archer channels his passion into composition, earning his way to Juilliard. Ari, meanwhile, becomes a promising young conductor, studying at Tel Aviv University, where he learns the art of weaving individual instruments and voices into symphonic unity.</p><p></p><p>Against the turbulent backdrop of the Vietnam War and Israel's struggles in the Middle East, their destinies converge when Ari is commissioned to conduct a people's orchestra celebrating Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin's Sinai Interim Agreement in 1975. Unknowingly, Ari selects a composition by Archer for this momentous event and enlists their birth mother as the starring pianist.</p><p></p><p>A Testament to Wind and Stone is a captivating story that explores the mystical bonds between twins, the bridges and barriers between Jewish and Christian families, and the universal language of music that transcends all differences. It's a heartfelt tale of resilience, faith, and the unbreakable connections that unite us.</p><p></p><p>This large-print edition uses 15.5-point Atkinson Hyperlegible Next font for easy reading.</p>
