My Book

She hates public school.  She doesn't fit in.  Fourteen-year-old violin prodigy, Milana Nicholes, has lived her whole life touring the world's concert stages with her famous parents.  Now her parents are divorcing and she is shuttled off to rural Gold Run, California, to live with her artist aunt.  She hates the country.

​

That is until she meets banjoist Alexa Mae King.  Alexa Mae plays Appalachian music, writes songs, and sings in music videos.  Milana's creative interest is sparked.  Soon, the two form a musical duo with a dream of performing at the Grand Ole Opry.  But, while reaching for their shared star, each girl struggles with a family crisis, faces the affects of jealousy, and deals with peer bullying.
