The Handpan Girl

by ShaNelle Jlassi

Overview

Seventeen-year-old Nora is the perfect student—so much so that she is called to the principal’s office on the first day of her senior year and ordered to find an extracurricular activity and have fun. On her drive home, as she reaches for her latte coming through the Starbucks drive-through window, something extracurricular reaches for her. The music is so unexpected and ethereal that Nora has to find the source. It is nineteen-year-old free spirit Del, and she is even more enchanting than the music.
As Nora learns to play, she falls in love with the handpan, and Del. When Del collapses during a performance, Nora learns of her terminal diagnosis. Del has no insurance and no money for care. Nora resolves to make any sacrifice and slay any dragon to take care of the woman she loves.

About the Author

After struggling in school, ShaNelle found her place and herself in the pages of books. Not content with the volume of works representing the LGBTQ+ community by people of color, she searched for and found her own voice.

ShaNelle spends her time on three continents writing, painting, creating digital art, and practicing the handpan in her spare time.

In her first novel, The Handpan Girl, ShaNelle tells the compelling tale of exotic, handpan-playing Del and straight-laced Nora. The story reads like an inspiring ballad set to the enchanting music of the mysterious instrument.
