Stage Fright

by Justin Jones

Stage Fright presents the story of Nikki Ride, an unhappy woman with a failed singing career who is also married to an abusive man. On the night she finally decides to put an end to her husband's abuse, her mind drifts back to a much happier era when she was a teenager in the early 1960s-when times were more innocent and she had aspirations of becoming a famous singer like her idol, Dionne Warwick. But as the hurdles of life and fears of failure get in the way of her dreams, she finds herself on an unpredictable yet engrossing path of self-discovery as she moves through twenty years filled with complex relationships, and more ups and downs than a roller coaster. You'll find Stage Fright an engrossing, touching, and often humorous novel about life, friendship, music-and the true meaning of love.
