When I started telling my daughter this story, she told me I read crazy books, just not credible.
It starts with a Prologue...someone is listening to Elizabeth O'Brian's Porche as it fills the garage & bedroom with fumes. Elizabeth is thinking about when her daughter was young & wanted to bring her doll...a Christmas gift from her father. They were going to see Mr. Morgan. This was taking place 17 years later, and Shanna was part of the Morgan clan. But Elizabeth couldn't lift her head or breath any longer.
The rest of the story is about Shanna O'Brian. Andrew Morgan had died, but he would have wanted Shanna to go on stage. But the truth was that she wanted to put off seeing Joshua, her ex-husband, as long as possible. So Shanna sang. The audience's appreciation made her want to continue singing, no mater what. Max, her agent since her mother's death, was giving orders to the crew, some going to the funeral, others to where they'd meet to finish the tour. When she learned that the roses she had received were from Joshua, she gave them to one of her fans.
