Story4.5 out of 5 stars 25
At nine years old, Frankie Presto is sent to America in the bottom of a boat. His only possession is an old guitar and six precious strings. But Frankie's talent is unique, and his amazing journey weaves him through the musical landscape of the 20th century, from classical to jazz to rock and roll, with his stunning talent affecting numerous stars along the way, including Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Carole King and even KISS. Frankie becomes a pop star himself. He makes records. He is adored.

A beautifully written story of love, loss, learning, yearning and the power music can have on ones soul. So different from the authors other books, yet so similar too. An amazing read and as an audio book I loved listening to the voice of Mitch as it was meant to be read. 10/10. Thank you for writing this book in my lifetime!
