This book is well-written and engaged me fully for quite a while. At some point, when the main character was trying to decide between two men, the story became wordy and longer than I felt it needed to be, though there was never a doubt that I would read it to the end. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385258542, Paperback)

Robbed of her career as a concert pianist due to a tragic childhood accident, Mariah Standhoffer is compelled to seek alternate means of artistic expression, eventually achieving renown as a composer. Mariah's shattered life turns on a series of complex relationships with others who have suffered damage in their lives — particularly Doug and Sully, challengers for her love. These vividly realized characters, like Mariah, learn to make opportunity out of accident and ultimately find dignity in compassion.Raw, often heart-wrenching, but also an exhilarating read, The Handless Maiden is an audacious and triumphant début.
