by Sarah Seltzer - Fiction, Women's Fiction

It's 1996, and alt-rocker Emma Cantor is on tour, with her sights trained on a record deal. Emma has no lack of inspiration for her music --- chiefly her mother, Judie, a 1960s folk legend whose confessional songs made her an icon before her mysterious withdrawal from the public eye. Emma is baffled by Judie's coldness and is deeply shaken when she learns a long-kept secret about their family. When Emma uncovers more about her mother's past, she is vaulted to new heights as a performer. But the knowledge she gains also propels her toward a musical betrayal that further fractures her relationship with Judie. Increasingly famous, but fragile and isolated, Emma grapples with her mother’s legacy and what it means for her own future.
