Finding My Way Back

Harlow Phillips had her future mapped out—a prestigious music program in New York City and a promising career as a concert pianist. But in one violent moment, her best friend's stalker shattered more than just her right hand. He destroyed her dreams, her relationships, and her sense of self. Now, many months and multiple surgeries later, Harlow can barely recognize the musician she once was. Her fingers stumble over keys that used to sing beneath her touch. Consumed by shame and anger, she pushes away everyone who loves her—her devoted boyfriend Luke, her guilt-ridden best friend Carmindy, even her worried mother. Instead, she finds solace in dangerous places and the arms of a stranger who doesn't know the gifted pianist she used to be. But when her former study partner Edward refuses to let her give up, Harlow reluctantly agrees to see a performance psychologist. What she discovers there will challenge everything she believes about her worth, her talent, and her capacity to heal. Sometimes the most beautiful music comes from broken instruments. A powerful story of resilience, redemption, and discovering that our greatest victories often rise from our deepest defeats.
