Product Description
In his final year at the Royal College of Music, star pianist Flynn Laukonen has the world at his feet. He has moved in with his girlfriend Jennah and is already getting concert bookings for what promises to be a glittering career. Yet he knows he is skating on thin ice - only two small pills a day keep him from plunging back into the whirlpool of manic depression that once threatened to destroy him. Unexpectedly his friends seem to be getting annoyed with him for no apparent reason, he needs less and less sleep, he is filled with unbridled energy. Events begin to spiral out of control and Flynn suddenly finds himself in hospital, heavily sedated, carnage left behind him. The medication isn't working any more, the dose needs to be increased, and depression strikes again, this time with horrific consequences. His freedom is snatched away and the medicine's side-effects threaten to jeopardize his chances in one of the biggest piano competitions of his life. It seems like he has to make a choice between the medication and his career. But in all this he has forgotten the one person he would give his life for, and Flynn suddenly finds himself facing the biggest sacrifice of all.

FANTASTIC BOOK, Dec 28 2008
By Prada121 "Caitlin" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Voice in the Distance (Paperback)
'A voice in the distance' was a great book, sad and tear jerking no matter how many times you read it, but it is fantastic. it gives you a real insight into depression and how it not only effects one person but all the people around them. it was one of the best books that i have ever read.

A very moving book, Jun 23 2008
By SASCHA - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Voice in the Distance (Paperback)
I have just finished reading " A VOICE IN THE DISTANCE" and I just have to say that I could not put this book down. Having read Tabitha Suzuma's first book " A note of Madness" I was familiar with the characters but this is by no means a prerequisite to the book's enjoyment. However I found " a voice in the distance" to be so very very good, even better than the first installement, really sad and moving but completly gripping.
I highly recommend this book.
Listmania!
