The Rosewood Guitar, Jon's Story — Mariam Kobras

Can you fall in love with someone based on some lyrics on a page? Is there really such a thing as one true love, and does serendipity listen and lend a helping hand?
Jon's journey to fame and fortune seemed like a ride on a comet's fiery tail, but is this Brooklyn boy ready for the darker side of success?

Leaving home and family behind, a young Jon Stone moves to California to find fame as a singer-songwriter. Music is in his blood--the songs seem to write themselves--but he soon discovers that sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll aren't the only dangers in Hollywood.

Best-selling author Mariam Kobras never disappoints, and this prequel to her IPPY Award-winning Stone Trilogy is true to form.

The story of Jon Stone before he meets his soul mate, Naomi, The Rosewood Guitar is rich with lyrical passages and lush descriptions that will have you walking on the beach in Santa Monica alongside Jon as he wrestles with the problems he s facing.
