Kaja jutustab neli erinevat, lummavat lugu erinevatest aegadest ja paikadest.See on lugu ohverdamisest, perekonnast, sõprusest ja muusika ühendavast jõust. See on jagatud neljaks erinevaks osaks: Otto lugu 1800. aastate lõpus Saksamaal; Friedrichi lugu 1933. aastal Saksamaal; Mike’i lugu 1935. aastal Pennsylvanias; ja Ivy lugu 1942. aastal Lõuna-Californias.

FAVORITE QUOTE in ECHO by Pam Muñoz Ryan
The midwife gave each baby a special blessing before leaving them with the heartless witch. While she knew this was not the best start in life for them, she blessed Eins, Zwei, and Drei with the idea that despite their hardships and difficult beginnings, they would find a path to happiness. The idea a person can find their way through the darkest of times echoes throughout. Friedrich and his family survive Hitler's atrocities, Mike and his brother get through difficult times in the orphanage, and Ivy's family and the Yamamotos persevere despite the racism and segregation of the time.
“Your fate is not yet sealed. Even in the darkest night, a star will shine, a bell will chime, a path will be revealed.”
