  If you're lucky, somewhere in your past is that one person who changed your life forever. The one who pushed you to dream bigger and to reach higher than you ever imagined you could.
  
  For Joanne Lipman and Melanie Kupchynsky, that person was a music teacher known to his students as Mr K. A Ukrainian-born task-master, who yelled, stomped and screamed, and who, through sheer force of will, made them better than they had any right to be.
  
  Strings Attachedtells the inspiring, poignant and powerful story of this remarkable man, whose life seemed to conspire against him at every turn and yet who was able to transform his own heartache into triumph for those he taught. Taking you on a journey that spans from his days as a forced Nazi laborer and his later home life as a husband to an invalid wife, to his heart-breaking search for his missing daughter, Melanie's sister.
