Three elder stateswomen in the music industry, scarred by scandal, addiction, and forced retirement, go all in to create a killer comeback album. As they learn to trust themselves and dive back into songwriting, they entwine their lives and voices in ways they couldn't have imagined alone.

Everyone has forgotten about soul singer Honey Conaway, except that she stabbed a producer's eye out at a party and left drunk and stumbling like some glitzy Medea. Everyone loves Gloria Redmond: Girls grew up listening to her country-tinged, smart-alecky tunes, but she has become irrelevant past her prime. And everyone knows Sian Star, not for her time fronting the pop band The Whirlygirls, but for driving a red Porsche into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. When these three women create an award-winning comeback album together, each is challenged by the version of herself that pushed her out of the spotlight in the first place.

"With candor, humor, and an eye for both the absurd and the heartbreaking, she reinvigorates the reality of music-making in a fickle industry ruled by algorithms.

A novel that strikes familiar chords, but with dazzling energy and specificity that creates something wholly new." - Kirkus Review
