It opens with a two-page photo of tree branches, followed by another spread of a fence casting prison-bar shadows, then a collage of TV screen grabs as newscasters report the disappearance of 17-year-old Glory Fleming.

It just feels like you're seeing someone else's private moments. I would love to see more books like this, their better than graphic novels because they are so much more intimate. This is definitely a book you'll want to purchase, that way you can look through it again and again. I took my time, but read it all in one sitting. You are completely engrossed and don't want to stop until the end, but you know that it's not your life, and that it has all already happened. It's almost like finding someone's journal and looking through it. The only problem with this storytelling, is you feel very outside the loop. The pictures and illustrations were well done and told a story of struggle and love. Much like a book written in verse, so few words hold volumes. It's a little tricky reviewing a book with hardly any words in it, but I can say that this was breathtaking. They need to find their place in the world. They both become obsessed with the song and Glory accidentally plays it when she's not supposed to. They fit together though and everything is okay. Frank is a Mexican immigrant doing poorly in school. Glory is a piano prodigy with a dead mother and a demanding father.
