In print, all ebook editions, and coming soon in audiobook! From reviewer Don on Amazon, A fascinating concept revealed through letters and an ancient much abused piano. A young couple buys an old house . The man goes off to his last tour in a war zone and left alone, the wife discovers more than she expected when she enters the basement. Secrets, an exquisite love story from another era are revealed as the young woman struggles to remove paint from the piano where beneath the ugly green lies mahogany. Pianissimo is a story of growth, understanding and love to capture the readers heart.
Lauren is an excellent writer. Her books inspire and promote change.
Amazing way with words.
Amazing way with words.
Lauren Shiro's books invite the reader to think deeply about social awareness and acceptance of alternative lifestyles. She has the ability to do so while also engaging the reader in dramatiic story lines and rich character development. Her themes are universal and every reader can relate to some aspect of her stories... adding another layer to the inner awareness that we are all alike, facing similar human conditions.
