Nantucket Longing E-BOOK

She was a prodigy born to perform, until her world collapsed in silence.

Madeline Willis was destined for greatness. A piano virtuoso discovered at just five years old, raised by a mother who fled Poland with dreams as fierce as her daughter's talent. But when tragedy struck at seventeen—the sudden death of her mother and a disastrous performance that shattered her future—Madeline vanished from the spotlight. She fled to Los Angeles, abandoned the keys, and tried to become someone ordinary.

Then Greta Copperfield walked into her life.

Drawn in by Madeline's haunting past and raw potential, Greta invites her to the Copperfield House on Nantucket—a place steeped in second chances. There, Madeline begins to unravel the tightly wound grief she's carried for years. She meets Henry, a screenwriter with chaos in his eyes and his own art-driven obsessions. Their connection is magnetic, but with both of their careers on the cusp of brilliance, timing becomes their greatest obstacle.

As Madeline finds her way back to music through unexpected gigs and serendipitous opportunities—first jazz, then concert halls, and finally Paris—she begins to question what success really means. Is it fame? Legacy? Or is it playing the piano for someone you love, even when your heart is breaking?

Spanning continents, generations, and the painful echoes of a forgotten family legacy, Madeline Willis is a deeply emotional story about reclaiming your voice, rewriting your dreams, and discovering that love doesn't ask you to choose between purpose and passion—it helps you find both.
