Diminished, Resolving to Major

The year is 1993. A young pianist is trying to work his way into the Los Angeles music scene. And he is hiding a painful secret.

He is homeless.

"Robert Haus loves music, he loves writing, and he has a huge heart. So it's no surprise that he melds all three beautifully into this soulful, insightful novel. Homelessness is not understood well by enough people, but you can hear Haus's compassionate comprehension of its anguish and challenge in every line of this melodic book. Read it -- and feel hope."
