Sebastian Weiss is a rock star with all of his dreams coming true. On the outside it looks like everything is going his way. But on the inside he hasn’t been able to write new music for months, he’s been estranged from his parents for 6 years, his best friend of 11 years (and fellow band member) acts like he can’t stand him anymore, and his girlfriend of 6 years has just betrayed him. He’s in a pretty dark place when he finds himself walking into Blue Note Pub…When she was 15 years old, Eva Baumann was a victim of a hit-and-run accident that almost killed her and left her physically handicapped. She has scars that will never heal and she has to walk with a cane. Five years later, the emotional scars haven’t healed either. It doesn’t help that she is watching her beautiful sister, Gabriele, live a fairy tale life. Eva knows that the first step out of her emotional pit is to start facing some of her fears, and the first fear she plans to overcome is the fear of playing her guitar and singing for a crowd. She brings her best friend Annette with her so she can’t chicken out and finally finds herself performing at the Blue Note Pub…Eva has a huge celebrity crush on Sebastian Weiss; in her wildest dreams she wouldn’t have imagined him being at the Blue Note Pub that night – and she definitely wouldn’t have imagined him falling in love with her song – and she never would have imagined that he would come over to her table to praise her.This story of Sebastian and Eva is incredible and inspiring! Eva believes that humans are made of more than flesh and bone, and that there must be something beyond her handicap. Sebastian makes her feel she can be accepted the way she is, and helps her rediscover confidence, courage and passion. Everyone wants her to be careful because of her handicap, but she’s tired of being careful. Eva makes Sebastian want to dig deeper creatively and to grow as a person.But Sebastian is keeping a secret… a secret that is sure to destroy their future happiness.Eva learns that someone can do something bad – or even some bad things – and still be a good person. And forgiveness is a gift we all need to receive, and a gift we all need to give. And when we give forgiveness, it’s actually a gift to ourselves!And maybe when something bad happens to us, it gives us something greater in return. And when we can find that gift, then we can be thankful for even the bad things in our life!
