Tears Between the Notes is a hauntingly beautiful memoir of a young girl’s desperate longing for love, identity, and music amidst the chaos of a broken home. Karien grows up in a world where poverty, alcoholism, and secrets threaten to silence the melody inside her. Born with music in her soul but no piano to play it on, she dreams of becoming a pianist while navigating a childhood filled with abandonment, lies, and pain. Raw, honest, and deeply moving, this is the story of one woman’s journey from a childhood of silence to a life where her voice, her truth, and her music finally break free. Tears Between the Notes is a song of survival — dissonant, defiant, and unforgettable.
