Blessed with the gift of music, a fiddler named Sam travels from town to town, sharing his music with the people of the Ozarks. They break from their work and gather to hear Sam play, for they believe Sam can fiddle away their worries, cares, and the aches in their bones.

As Sam ages, he searches for someone special to pass his talent on to, remembering his father's words, "This ain't a gift, Son. It's a loan. You gotta pass the music along."

This is a story about a boy who takes up the fiddle and manages to complete Sam's quest. Packed with emotional appeal, Fiddlin' Sam is a heart-warming and satisfying tale about the powerful lesson of finding and giving happiness.
