Scott E. Blumenthal's debut novel is captivating, beautiful, and heartbreaking. Set in Rovno, Poland at the outset of World War Two, The Kiss follows three young musical prodigies who form a trio so talented and revered that their music and identities become that which myths are made of. Their music moves people to dream, to remember, and perhaps most importantly, to hope.
 

 
The Kiss recently won the Independent Publisher Book Award for Historical Fiction (IPPY), and it was published by Loose Leaves Publishing.

 
Blumenthal has also written several children's books including A Kid's Mensch Handbook and The Great Israel Scavenger Hunt.  Scott will be reading at Scuppernong Books in Greensboro on Thursday, October 23rd at 7pm.
