Every finger of his hands was a finely calibrated instrument, dancing across the keys and striking each note with exacting precision. That was eight months ago. n nRichard now has ALS, and his entire right arm is paralyzed. His fingers are impotent, still, devoid of possibility. The loss of his hand feels like a death, a loss of true love, a divorce--his divorce. n nHe knows his left arm will go next. n nThree years ago, Karina removed their framed wedding picture from the living room wall and hung a mirror there instead. But she still hasnt moved on.

As Richards muscles, voice, and breath fade, both he and Karina try to reconcile their past before its too late. n nPoignant and powerful, Every Note Played is a masterful exploration of redemption and what it means to find peace inside of forgiveness.n
