Chopsticks Book CoverChopsticks: A Novel  

by   Jessica Anthony and  Rodrigo Corral

 

A truly unique reading experience, Chopsticks is written mainly in a scrapbook format with minimal text.  When Gloria Fleming’s mother died in a motorcycle accident, Glory found solace in her music.  She was raised as a child prodigy by her piano teacher father who now has her on a strict schedule performing sold out shows around the world.  Exhausted, Glory breaks down during one of her performances, and is recuperating at Golden Hands, a rest facility for musical prodigies.  Now Glory has disappeared.  What led up to her dramatic departure?  This is a stunning portrait of a young woman on the edge; a lonely, brilliant genius falling for the boy next door.  Can Glory ever be saved?
