This new CD, without words, tells the story of two lovers who meet, suffer an unspecified loss--it could be a child, it could be some other tragedy--and use that pain to renew their relationship.

As a result, Higdon and Karmanos were honored with the Most Improved Player award while Adams walked away with the Rookie of the Year prize...
