More Than You Know

In this elegantly crafted debut, Rosalyn Story, a successful musician herself, pens an emotionally consuming love story that tells of how long-buried family secrets devastate the marriage between a brilliant saxophonist and a singer.

A nine-year-old boy carefully bears a tiny infant through a furious thunderstorm. Sworn to hide the baby's origins, he delivers the nameless child safely to the doorstep of an unaware family. Decades later, L.J. Tillman has matured into a brilliant jazz saxophonist playing on the New York streets after the revelation of long-buried secrets has devastated his life and marriage. "More Than You Know" is the elegantly crafted story of how L.J. and his wife peel away the twisting and turning falsehoods of their lives and try to rescue their marriage.

Rosalyn Story is a violinist with the Fort Worth Symphony and author of "And So I Sin"g (Amistad, 1990), a nonfiction work about African American opera singers. "More Than You Know" is her first novel.
