France, 1937.

It only takes a single snowstorm for Lina Fontaine's family to fall apart. 

When an accident in the snow kills her brother and renders her speechless, Lina and her family move to Marseilles, France in order to escape the painful memories. Disillusioned and disgusted with her new reality, Lina yearns to hide away from the world. Yet when her father abandons them and threatens to take her beloved sister with him, Lina realizes she can no longer ignore her own struggles. 

It is only when Lina meets Luka Fuhrmann, a German-Jewish pianist with a mysterious past, that she begins to have hope again. At the same bookstore she encounters him, she receives a book with a letter tucked between the pages, written by a father pleading for help to find his missing daughter. When she learns there is a monetary reward, Lina realizes this may be the key to saving her own family.

Yet as Lina becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl and spends more and more time with Luka, she finds her frequent absences may only be destroying her crumbling family further. And when Lina's plan ends up endangering her sister as well as Luka, Lina is forced to decipher what is most important: her family, the boy she loves, or her own desires.

HOPE IS A GENTLE FLICKER, de WhatsWithinMe
13 capítulos Em andamento Maduro
‹‹Once upon a time, there was a special child who never aged. To protect it from harm, I hid it within myself, until one day I forgot it was there.›› Adele and Nina, two inseparable sisters, once believed their family was an unbreakable fortress - a safe place where happiness felt eternal. But in a heartbeat, that safety shatters, and their world is forever changed. Their father, their stedfast anchor, has disappeared without a word. The man who once loved them has moved on, leaving them behind. What they don't know is that their world has been turned upside down, and the reality they know is built on lies. For years, they will navigate life under this shadow, viewing their existence through a lens distorted by someone else's deceit, bearing the immense pain of betrayal. But breaking free from this fictitious world isn't easy, for it demands confronting an even harsher truth: the person behind the deception is the one they hold most dear. "Hope is a Gentle Flicker" is a story that explores the fragile dynamics of blended families, the weight of unspoken emotions, and the ways love can become entangled in misunderstandings and hurt. But maybe, amidst the darkness, there may still exist a light - a delicate, flickering light that refuses to be extinguished. A love that, though unspoken, persists, quietly illuminating their path. *** This book is a memoir based on real events from my life. Thank you for joining me on this journey.

22 capítulos Concluído Maduro

It's 1874, only a few years after the U.S. Civil War and Heinrich Schroder decides to leave his home country of Germany and settle in the modest city of Baltimore. An aspiring world-class composer, he quickly finds himself working under the lids of Steiff pianos ("Steiff" being the main manufacturer in the city), tuning the strings he so longed to master. Not long after his establishment in America, his clients and their families, some he considers friends, are murdered one-by-one. Deemed a prime suspect early on, Heinrich must work to clear his name by assisting the police in apprehending the real killer--months after the unsolved murder of his own friend, Klaus Planck and his girlfriend, the beautiful Emma Jung. What Heinrich didn't know was that this serial killer encounter would entangle the life of Allison Scott, an unassuming girl who has just moved to New Castle with her family--over 130 years later. In the summer of 2017, when days should be full of soccer and baseball and lounging the new house, Allison and her brother Julian are taken by surprise when they discover an old Steiff piano in the basement of the house across the street; a piano they believe to be haunted by the same serial killer that Heinrich Schroder was after. With her very own musical acumen, Allison works to solve the case of "Steiff-ling Slasher", picking up where Heinrich left off. Her life depends on it.
