Teenage drummer Jane Bowman lives in swanky Sewickley Heights with her father and two eccentric maids. She attends a private high school, practices the drums, and struggles to recover from her mother’s death, caused by a fire in a Manhattan nightclub. After graduation Jane moves to New York City, where she encounters the best and worst elements of the music business. RHYTHM reveals the tragic beauty of human resilience, the restorative power of love and laughter, and the way one girl's music—steady, solid, and courageous—helps to mend her shattered heart.
