Gravestone peddler Fraser Stephens is prematurely slouching towards middle age, with one hundred pounds of extra weight, the burden of caring for a child with mild cerebral palsy, and a wife who is having an affair--with another woman.Depressed, and on the verge of doing himself in, Fraser hears the host of a radio call-in show who becomes his ghostly motivational coach in an effort to turn his life around. He begins an uncertain journey, riddled with false hopes and colossal personal mistakes before he sees real progress. Fraser visualizes playing a piano at a ski lodge and meeting the woman of his dreams, but his fantasy will come true only if he understands what he truly must recognize--his own self-worth.Piano Dreams is the inspirational rags-to-riches, sometimes heartbreaking, but often funny novel of self-discovery that leads a man to his ultimate beautiful reward.
