Hands of Fate Ann Thompson

Patricia Nathan, an extraordinarily gifted young musician, moves from Los Angeles to Chicago, where she'll study with music masters highly recommended for her graduate work. She also hopes to renew friendship with her girlhood pal, Connie, there; but Connie is dead, destroyed by a love affair that undermined her. Thus begins a search: for the truth of intense, human emotion that takes Pat into manipulated love, haunted guilt, and attempted escape through Hindu mysticism. "Hands of Fate" deals with anguish that seeks spiritual relief while encumbered by supernatural phenomena.
