Love In A Garden Of Shadows

Bach, Chopin, and Ellington were all considered masters, as well as musical giants, in their chosen field of music. All too rare geniuses, theirs is a unique talent that comes along once every two or three hundred years. Would you know that somewhere in Philadelphia lives a man who has the combined talents of all three of these greats musician but for some unknown reason, right at the pinnacle of success, he disappears from public life and for nearly ten years. This is a man who made his mark early on in life as a child prodigy, someone who studied classical music at the prestigious Curtis Institute of Music and jazz at the fame musical institution known as Julliard. Years later, comes along an aspiring graduate student who is majoring in communications, with emphasis on investigative journalism, who stumbles onto this man and the mystery and questions surrounding his disappearance and pursues it with the vigor of a Sherlock Holmes. What she discovers is eye opening, touching and beyond genius. But through it all, she manages to find out the truth. And along the way, she finds love. Love and romance, it doesn't get any more challenging than this. Musical genius doesn’t get any more exciting than this.
