About A Thousand Perfect Notes
Beck’s violent mother drives him through endless piano practice, determined that he fulfil the career illness stole from her. Secretly, Beck longs to compose his own music; when vibrant, fearless August enters his life, she offers friendship, hope and a glimpse of escape—if he can risk defying the person he fears most.
