Piano Zen: A novel

By Thomas Rheingans

Piano Zen is the story of William Longfellow Emerson, a young man with a lively imagination who is fascinated with and loves everything about the piano. As we join his story in the city of Nightingale, we find his love for piano hasn't translated to his own success with the instrument. That all changes when William journeys with his single mom, Amy Elizabeth, high up into the hills of Imperial Heights to take piano lessons with an eccentric but kind and wise Piano Zen teacher, Miss Rosa. She lives and teaches piano lessons in the Gate Lodge near the infamous Prescott Mansion, a shadowy edifice that towers over the city of Nightingale. Our journey with the young man into the world of Piano Zen begins when Miss Rosa allows William to take home a rare Piano Zen book from the 18th century. From the pages of this book flow the tales of strange experiences, where reality and the world of dreams becomes indistinguishable. As William uncovers the many mysteries of Piano Zen, he also discovers unknown secrets about his father, the Mystic Order of Samaritans, and the shadowy past of his home town of Nightingale.
