Description:
A moving story of grief and healing - sure to be a pure joy for any musical theater aficionado.
Nettie
Delaney has just been accepted into a prestigious performing arts
school--the very same school her superstar mother attended. With her
mother's shadow hanging over her, Nettie has her work cut out for
her--and everyone is watching. To make matters worse, Nettie hasn't been
able to sing a single note since her mother died. Whenever she tries,
she just clams up. But if Nettie's going to survive a demanding first
year and keep her place in a highly coveted program, she'll have to work
through her grief and deliver a showstopper or face expulsion.
All
may not be lost, however, when Nettie stumbles upon a mysterious piano
player in an empty studio after class. Masked behind a curtain, can
Nettie summon the courage to find her voice? Or will the pressure and
anxiety of performing come crashing down?
All about finding and
raising your voice, and not throwing away your shot, Vanessa Jones's
well-crafted journey of grief and healing will pull readers along with
its strong narrative voice and satisfying sense of mystery.
"“Anglophiles, music and theater nerds, and those looking for some classic will-they-won’t-they romance will all find something to enjoy here. Jones writes her subject matter authentically, with obvious passion to balance the professional arts’ not-so-pretty struggles…. A touching portrait of healing after loss.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“Jones' novel has the expected Fame vibes that will delight any reader who loves stories of aspiring young stars learning their craft, but its exploration of Nettie's complexities makes the story unique…. Jones offsets the narrative’s weightier moments with light and quirky ones, making it a fast read with staying power.” ―Booklist
