Product Description
The music stirred her blood. As a child, Jenna Adams uses the lush, symphonic music and mesmerizing photograph of internationally renowned composer, Eric Ries, as a means to escape her parents' bitter divorce. Vocally gifted and emotionally neglected, Jenna turns eighteen and enrolls in a prestigious music conservatory where she becomes friends with Eric's piano virtuoso daughter. But which man touched her soul? A whirlwind of lust and energy, Eric Ries becomes a very real presence in Jenna's life, offering up seduction, fame, excitement, and most of all music. By her mid-twenties, Jenna's passion for music is thoroughly entwined with her obsession for Eric. When she meets manager Josh Kendal, she catches a glimpse of depth and sincerity, of kindness and dependability-and Jenna is torn between the temptations that have shaped her life and the kind of love she's never had. Reviews and Other Information: "A unique blend of music, obsession, and a young girl's coming of age. You can almost hear the music wafting from the pages and feel the bittersweet struggle between love and obsession - a touching sonnet for the soul." Debby Schoening, Editor - The Record-Courier "...It's rare to read a novel about music and musicians where all the musical references are totally accurate and believable... The book is witty, emotional, and written with extreme personal insight... I found myself laughing out loud, crying real tears, and living true angst from beginning to end." William Shookhoff, Artistic Director, Opera by Request, Toronto; Former Conductor, Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera, Canadian National Companies
