The Sound Between the Notes

Sound-graphic

Susannah’s career as a pianist has been on hold for sixteen years, ever since her son was born. But now, suddenly, she has a second chance. There’s just one problem: somewhere along the way, she lost the power and the magic that used to be hers at the keyboard. She needs to get them back. Now.

And then, worse yet, Susannah learns that she has a progressive hereditary disease that’s making her fingers cramp and curl, 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’s never been able to purge—and forward, to choices she never thought she’d have to make.

Told through the unique perspective of a musician, The Sound Between the Notes draws us into the question Susannah can no longer silence: Who am I, and where do I belong?
