| Summary |
"Discovery at Aspen" by Sophie Ruskay is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around a young girl named Judy Lurie who is about to spend a summer in Aspen, Colorado, with her musically devoted parents. As she grapples with her feelings of being an outsider in a world surrounded by music, she begins to question her own identity and future amidst her family's expectations. The opening of the book introduces Judy as she prepares for the trip to Aspen, reflecting on her mixed emotions about the summer ahead. Her parents, both musicians, are excited for the opportunities the Aspen Music School offers, but Judy feels apprehensive and uncertain about her own role in their music-oriented lives. The dialogue reveals her conflict between wanting to be part of her family's activities while also yearning for her own passions outside of music. As Judy's parents engage in conversations about their careers, she contemplates what she will do in Aspen, ultimately finding herself in a transition that hints at deeper discoveries and personal growth as the story unfolds.
