Synopsis

Rewind. Melody loves to play guitar. She almost becomes a rock star. But then she falls in love with Alex and gives birth to her daughter, Tessa. Fast forward. Melody loves her daughter and her husband, the music promoter. Her guitar sits dusty in the corner of her bedroom. Skip. Melody can't bear it any longer and plots a return to the stage, and the person she used to be. But the obstacles she faces along the way—are nothing—compared to the tragedy that awaits. Pause. Her desire to have an affair? Well, Button Boy is quite charming ... Did you know?

About this title

About the Author

If Jessica Bell could choose only one creative mentor, she'd give the role to Euterpe, the Greek muse of music and lyrics. This is not only because she currently resides in Athens, Greece, but because of her life as a thirty-something Australian-native contemporary fiction author, poet and singer/songwriter/guitarist, whose literary inspiration often stems from songs she's written. Jessica is the Co-Publishing Editor of Vine Leaves Literary Journal and annually runs the Homeric Writers' Retreat & Workshop on the Greek island of Ithaca. She makes a living as a writer/editor for English Language Teaching Publishers worldwide, such as Pearson Education, HarperCollins, MacMillan Education, Education First and Cengage Learning. Visit her website for a full list of published works.

Review

"This is one of those books that's so familiar, and filled with so much emotion, you'll be crawling for the door." ~Leigh Talbert Moore, author of The Truth About Faking and Rouge 
 "Jessica Bell paints a claustrophobic vision of life where domesticity becomes a ever-diminishing prison cell. With gripping prose and terse dialogue, String Bridge is a powerful debut novel from a very talented writer." ~Talli Roland, bestselling author of The Hating Game and Build a Man
