The Sound Between the Notes

A classical pianist, desperate to recapture her lost magic, must face the possibility of losing everything--and everyone--she treasures as she seizes an unexpected chance for redemption and acclaim.

Susannah's career has been on hold for nearly sixteen years, ever since her son was born. An adoptee who's never forgiven her birth mother for not putting her first, Susannah was determined to put her own child first, no matter what. But now, offered a chance at the very thing she thought she'd renounced forever, Susannah's longing is reawakened. There's just one problem: somewhere along the way, she lost the power and the rapture. And she needs to get them back. Now.

Her quest--what her husband calls her obsession--turns out to have a cost Susannah didn't anticipate. One by one, her relationships begin to disintegrate, and even her hand betrays her as she learns she has a progressive hereditary disease that's making her fingers cramp and curl--a curse waiting in her genes, legacy of a birth family that gave her little else. As her now-or-never concert draws near, Susannah is catapulted back to memories she hasn't been able to purge--and forward, to the country-and-western sister she's never known.
