A Thousand Perfect Notes is a powerful and emotional novel by CG Drews that tells the story of a young musical prodigy named Beck. Living under the oppressive rule of his abusive mother, who was once a famous pianist, Beck is forced to play the piano and pursue classical greatness, despite his own dreams of composing his own music. Beck's life takes an unexpected turn when he meets August, a free-spirited girl with a kind heart. As their friendship blossoms, August shows Beck a world of possibilities beyond his grueling practice schedule and his mother's harsh expectations. Through his connection with August, Beck begins to find the courage to stand up for himself and chase his own dreams. Despite the fear of his mother's wrath, Beck must decide whether to live the life that has been forced upon him or to carve out his own path filled with a thousand perfect notes of his own making.
