17岁的格雷西一直以来都是一名运动员。她因在篮球方面的力量和速度而闻名。但当她在比赛中开始感到疲惫，并且呼吸困难时，她变得绝望了。在看了医生不久后，格雷西意识到自己得了癌症。
手术后，医生说她还需要进行干细胞移植。在这段艰难的时期，格雷西遇到了丽塔，一位音乐治疗专家。丽塔邀请格雷西尝试音乐治疗。这种治疗让她更容易度过这段艰难的时光。
丽塔第一次去看望格雷西时，带了一把吉他，并教了格雷西几个初级和弦，几乎瞬间，格雷西就被吸引了。尽管治疗让她疲惫不堪，但她还是练习这三个和弦，直到手指受伤。
格雷西很难确切地解释音乐治疗是如何帮助她的，但她肯定音乐治疗确实起到了作用。有些日子，尽管她病得很重，如果丽塔在的话，她还是会努力从床上爬起来。“如果我从床上起来，她就会教我一个新和弦。这对我鼓励很大，”格雷西说。
音乐治疗的影响在格雷西出院后并没有结束——当她难过或感觉不舒服时，她会用学到的歌曲让自己振作起来。即使在今天，音乐也能帮助她在看似黑暗的时刻看到光明的一面。
如今，格雷西正忙着准备大学申请。她很感激通过音乐治疗得到的支持。格雷西现在正在考虑自己成为一名音乐治疗专家，希望能像丽塔帮助她那样帮助别人。
