Denver's dream has always of being a star. Raised with music always playing, she loves to sing and writes her own lyrics and tunes. Music meant sitting next to her father at the piano whenever he could be at home. With her doctor mother always at the hospital and her father off traveling as a commercial pilot, Denver is often more focused on music and her two best friends than on school work and a future college career.
Together with Dali and Shak, Denver is able to perform her songs. Known around school and the area, they sing together as much as they can. When they get a chance to sneak away to the city for a concert starring the R & B artist Sean "Mercury" Ellis, they believe it might be their chance to be discovered.
A lucky break brings them into contact with Merc himself. Impressed by their sound, he invites them backstage after the concert and their dream begins to become a reality. Can the girls stay together to make music their dream? Will their parents understand that music can take them where nothing else can?
Written in verse through the voice of Denver, readers will hear the story of trickery and deceit that could threaten the very lives of these young girls. Author Tami Charles illustrates how easily star-struck fans can be drawn into a dangerous situation with promises of making it big in the cutthroat music biz. Readers who loved GROWN by Tiffany D. Jackson will want to give this one a try.
