Between Pieces

About the Book

Growing up is tough for Conor Kelman. The ghost that came with the pawnshop guitar watches his every move. He not only has a perfect older brother, but the girl he planned to be with forever cheated on him. He is given the chance to start over and change his life when he starts high school in a new town. Conor wants to fit-in, feel normal. He is attracted to friends that are far from the type his eighth grade teacher recommended. They take him on a roller coaster of bizarre behaviors and events. He is riddled with doubt, guilt, and grief. Parties, girls, clothes, and money do not quench the fire that gnaws his insides. They cannot stop loneliness, hurt and guilt. He dreams of Wylina, the girl that hurt him. Are Gabbie and Red, a guitar and ghost destined to be all that he has to call his own? Can music that runs through his veins bring him the happiness he searches, or will life pass by like a merry-go-round? Take the journey with Conor Kelman in Book Two of the Running Nowhere trilogy.
