1967: Judie Zingerman is rising to stardom as one half of folk duo the Singer Sisters.

As she and her sister Sylvia tour coast to coast, crowds can’t get enough of Judie’s confessional lyrics. Everyone can see they’re heading for new heights. Yet something is about to push them off course…

1996: Alt-rocker Emma Cantor is playing the festival circuit, with her sights on a record deal. Emma has never understood why her mother, folk icon Judie Zingerman, gave up music at the height of her success.

But as Emma is catapulted into the spotlight as an MTV darling and LA It girl, fame brings its own heartache. Could discovering her mother’s long-kept secrets help Emma find her path again?

My Thoughts:

This book is split into two parts, one is set in 1967 and the other is set in 1996. Judie is in a band called the Singer Sisters, her and her sister are doing well for themselves but is it all going to come crashing down on them. Emma Cantor is playing festivals and hopes to be able to make it big with a deal, but is fame and fortune all it’s cracked up to be? If you like stories about music then this is the book for you, it is a family drama with the need to create music. It is a whirlwind of a story, I liked how it was set in different eras so you could see how different it was in both eras. However I am not a big fan of stories that follow musicians, but that is just me.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
