A musical prodigy and his mother spend years searching for each other in this beautiful novel of hope, perseverance, and love. nA SWEEPING NOVEL FROM JENNA BUSH HAGERS NEW VENTURE, THOUSAND VOICES. n nSong is a nobody--just a food delivery worker from a village in Northeastern China--but her son, River, is a little wonder. n nAt the age of three, he toddled to a piano and tapped out his favorite song. At five, he mastered Liszts three Liebestraume; at eight, he blazed through the complete set of Chopins études. And at every step, through the valleys of loss, illness, and poverty, Song is there to light his way--until finally, at the age of eleven, River is invited to study with a preeminent teacher in Beijing. n nBut in the chaos of Beijing Railway Station on the busiest day of the year, Song faces every mothers nightmare: She loses her grip on Rivers little hand and is unable to find him after a desperate, harrowing search. n nOver the next days, weeks, and eventually, years, Song and River fight to forge a path back to each other as they carve out new lives that carry them farther apart. An evocative exploration of a mothers love and a sons yearning, Little Wonder takes us on an extraordinary journey through a modern Beijing that pulses with the music of humanity and its impossible--and impossibly brave--hopes. n nAs every musician knows: You start in one key. You wander to other keys, strange and distant places. But in the end, you always come back home.n
