About this audiobook

Summary

On the eve of her final student recital, widowed piano teacher Beatrice Halpern hides a diagnosis that threatens the steadiness of her hands and the rhythm of her days. As each student’s piece opens a door to her past—love, sacrifice, estrangement—she must decide whether to keep the studio lights glowing or end the music on her own terms.
