NEW! From SparkPress/Simon & Schuster
A story of love, music, addiction, and self-discovery. For fans of Gayle Forman and Sarah Dessen, a musically gifted teen in 2008 Los Angeles gets caught up in the tumultuous world of a narcissistic rock star and his brilliant but herion-addicted bandmate.

“Creativity, Victory, Heart, Discipline-four words that mean so much to the main character and a common thread that the author weaves throughout. This is an entertaining tale about love and family and how it looks a little different for everyone.”

—The Eric Hoffer Book Awards
