Produktbeschreibung

Coming from a painful childhood steeped in the teachings of Christian Science, Grant Reynolds struggled throughout his life with anxiety and self-esteem issues. In his memoir, Music Saved My Life, he recounts how his music helped him overcome his unhappy childhood, insecurities over his sexual orientation, and a difficult marriage. As a child, he felt unloved and worthless, but this began to lift as he experienced adulation for arranging and playing a popular hit at his high school music night. Mr. Reynolds followed his passion and had many more musical successes, ultimately becoming a professional pianist. Music brought him joy, allowed him to safely express his feelings, and provided him with a sense of accomplishment and worth. Readers will be moved as they see into the heart and mind of a man who overcame an emotionally impoverished childhood to grow into an adult who enriched the lives of many. Challenging and thought-provoking, Music Saved My Life will inspire readers to stay true to themselves and empower them to allow their authentic selves to truly shine.
