Sixteen-year-old Lily Jordan is trying to suppress her tragic past to deal with the unimaginable hurdles of her present. Circumstances no one can ever know. Not that it matters. No one cares about the odd girl who’s better off forgotten. She’s reminded, though—every day—of the danger she poses, so she stays away from others. She can’t be the cause of another tragedy. Cohen Chambers is a piano prodigy with perfect pitch and a host of admirers. When he’s not playing, he’s composing songs in his head using the pitches of airplane engines and light bulb hums. Cohen’s path has been smooth and steady, but he is about to take the most frightening ride of his life. And he may never be the same. When the aftermath of Cohen’s terrifying experience threatens to change the course of his life forever, Lily fears she’s to blame and reaches out to him anonymously. Over time, and the exchanging of notes withholding her identity, Lily has to decide if she’s able to look past the danger she poses to help her newfound friend, or stay in the shadows, watching his downfall from afar. Maybe these unlikely friends may be able to help each other face the mountain of obstacles life has placed in their paths.
