ABOUT THE BOOK
Nine voices. One city. Too many secrets to stay hidden.
On a street corner in Chicago, a violinist plays each day, offering a melody to anyone willing to stop and listen. And as they pause—artists, scientists, students, executives—he glimpses something beyond their polished faces: the unseen fractures, the invisible battles they carry.
But it’s not his place to tug at the fraying threads of their lives. They are already pulling at them, even if they don’t know it yet.
And this week, each will have to decide: Will they keep holding the image they’ve built? Or surrender to the truth breaking through?
Told through nine unforgettable voices, Image of the Invisible is a lyrical and introspective debut that explores fractured identities, hidden struggles, and the quiet grace that finds us in the unraveling.
