The Changelings are a band from Atlanta, Georgia self-described as a “blend of ambient pop-fusion laced with neo-Classical and Middle Eastern styles”. Formed in 1995, they have released six albums, and have been named the “Best Local Experimental/Fringe Band/Artist of Atlanta” in Creative Loafing for the years 1998-2002.

During this time, Vincent befriends Clara, an 12-year-old African American tomboy who lives a few blocks south of her neighborhood. She also deals with her sister's ostracization from the family for marrying a non-Jew.
They rent their "upstairs" to the Levines. They also share their telephone with them.
