Before she graced magazine covers and played to sold out venues, she spent her girlhood practicing her guitar in the family garage, full of big dreams and determination. Her first fan was her mother, Helen, who always encouraged Greta to follow her heart. But her father, Conrad, was less supportive; he saw only a precarious road ahead for his daughter, and always pushed her to make more practical choices. Greta has spent her life trying to prove him wrong. But three months after her mother's sudden death and an onstage meltdown that went viral for all the wrong reasons, Greta reluctantly agrees to accompany her father on the week-long Alaskan cruise her parents had booked to celebrate their 40th anniversary. It could be their last chance to heal old wounds and forge a new relationship in the wake of such loss. But the trip will also prove to be a voyage of discovery for them both, as well as for Ben Wilder, a historian also struggling with a major upheaval in his life. As Greta works to build back her confidence, and Ben confronts an uncertain future, they find themselves relying on each other to make sense of life's difficult, unexpected choices. And in the end, Greta must face the biggest challenge of all: can she find a way back to her music while also making peace with those who love her? 541 $d 20240509. 650 $a Women rock musicians $v Fiction. 650 $a Alternative rock musicians $v Fiction. 650 $a Mothers $x Death $v Fiction. 650 $a Fathers and daughters $x Fiction. 650 $a Historians $x Fiction. 650 $a Ocean travel $x Fiction. 651 $a Alaska $x Fiction. 655 7 $a large print books. $2 aat 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast 941 $a 1 952 $l KIPB845 $d 20240713011743.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4E86E0FE40DD11EF9DF0E91223ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
