From the rear cover
Praise for Rosalyn Story's More Than You Know "Rosalyn Story's debut novel is a mystery at heart--a page-turner enhanced by lyrical language and clever plot turns. Story, a violinist with the Fort Worth Symphony, knows how to play to a crowd, and she drives the narrative like a good straight-ahead quartet--taking a pop standard and playing it with panache while adding fresh changes and tempos that give the well-worn tune a whole new sound.... An engaging addition to the jazz-novel canon."
--Washington Post "Romantic, deeply sentimental redemption story of smoky jazz clubs, beauty salons crackling with gossip, and the intricate, wide-ranging community that holds it all together."
--Kirkus Reviews "Story weaves this tale of family ties and secrets back and forth between past and present, using finely drawn characters, jazz settings, and taut emotions to build tension toward reconciliation. The book's powerful evocation of love and family should appeal to a wide cross section of readers."
--Booklist "More Than You Know is a moving grown-up read featuring well-drawn and familiar characters. This is the perfect choice for your next book club pick."
--Essence "Story writes with the plot-twisting precision of a veteran and a lyricism reminiscent of James Baldwin's novel-turned-serenade Sonny's Blues....Well done."
--BIBR
