full-blown
delusion, and her journey into madness. Trapped in
the drama is a
12-year-old girl, the woman’s piano student, who
as an adult

Who was this
mystery woman, why did she seemingly disappear
without trace,
and why the wall of silence?

fiction are skillfully blended in a gripping account of
obsession and
unrequited love, and one woman’s pathway
to redemption.
