Sea Sonata - Paperback (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

by Libby Jacobs (Author), Betterbe Creative (Cover Design by)

Jane Bell's life was built on music-until tragedy fractures her world. A piano prodigy with a promising future, Jane abandons her career and Manhattan. Seeking refuge, she retreats to a ramshackle cottage in a quiet beach town in North Carolina, hoping to escape the pain that haunts her.

In the enigmatic town of Aria, a weathered old house, a battered flute, and her Irish grandmother's diary begin to weave a tale of Celtic magic, myths, and buried secrets. Encouraged by McCue, a gifted flutist with a mysterious past, Jane starts to rediscover love and music that she thought were lost forever.

As she rebuilds the home and her life, Jane's bond with McCue grows, igniting a passion as untamed as the coastal storms. But as music and love return, so does the need to confront the pain she's buried for years. Can she embrace the melodies of her soul without losing the new life she's created?

Sea Sonata is a heartfelt story of loss, healing, and the transformative power of love and music, perfect for readers seeking stories of resilience and second chances.

"Sea Sonata reads like a warm sea breeze that whispers across your face. Author Libby Jacobs has crafted a beautiful and lyrical story that is steeped in Irish folklore. It follows a young woman who loses herself in pain, grief, and disappointment but finds strength again through the power of new love, her passion for music, and a mystical bond with her deceased grandmother, whose young life unexpectedly intertwines with her own. After reading Sea Sonata, I now believe in the "Good Folk." I highly recommend." Ann Howley, Author of The Memory of Cotton and Confessions of a Do-Gooder Gone Bad

"Libby Jacob's Sea Sonata follows a family of musical savants through three generations of heartache and loss. It explores forbidden love, the stories told to replace disappointment, legends falling from good graces, and the importance of friendships-especially those that withstand the fiercest storms. Lyrically musical at moments, this tale of myth merging with reality is a solid first novel." Jill Cullen, Voted Best Writer in Best of PGH 2024 City Paper Reader's Poll, Author of the Flirting Series
