Description
"A tale that shines a light on the redemptive power of religion and relationships." -Kirkus Reviews
Kayla Covo is a child piano prodigy. In mid-1970's New York City, she vaults to fame, holding audiences in awe with her uncanny musical ability and warm smile. But deep within her lie the seeds of destruction: the paranoid fear of being stalked by a murderous fan. The Music Stalker closely examines how genius and love might survive in a close-knit family torn by trauma, insanity, and jealousy.
