Eleven-year-old Jenny, whose family came from Russia to America to start a new life, meets the famous Russian composer on his 1891 trip to the New World and writes about it in her diary.

Although Eugenia and her family did not exist, the details of Tchaikovsky's trip are true and are documented in his extensive diaries and letters to loved ones back in Russia.
