About this item
A must-read for fans of Julie Murphy and Ashley Herring Blake, this queer coming-of-age story from critically acclaimed author Kathryn Ormsbee sings with heart, warmth, and hope. Born in Paris, Kentucky, and raised on her gram's favorite country music, Cline Alden is a girl with big dreams and a heart full of song. When she finds out about a young musicians' workshop a few towns over, Cline sweet-talks, saves, and maybe fibs her way into her first step toward musical stardom.But her big dreams never prepared her for the butterflies she feels surrounded by so many other talented kids - especially Sylvie, who gives Cline the type of butterflies she's only ever heard about in love songs.As she learns to make music of her own, Cline begins to realize how much of herself she's been holding back.
