Description

Jazz was her ticket out. Just as Charlotte is set to leave the small town of Norman, Manitoba, her mother dies, and she is forced to give up a music career to care for her ailing father. Now facing retirement herself, she must come to grips with a lifetime of choices and missed opportunities. Blue Becomes You is a beautifully observed story of hope and self-discovery.
