review 1: Retta Jones wants to be a country singer more than anything. After graduation she heads off to Nashville in a borrowed car and almost immediately gets into a series of predicaments that leave her broke. The tow truck driver offers her a temporary position as his secretary since she can't pay for repairs, and Retta does her best to scrape together a life, living in her car, bathing in a convenience store sink, and even finding a job singing at a hotel, not to mention the dingiest hotel in town. Then she gets news about a family crisis, and she heads back home, not sure if she'll ever get a chance again... I recommend this book for girl ages 12-16. It is a mixture of a twisted love, hardships, and friendships. It goes in depth of how harsh life can be on you, and teaches yo... moreu that life isn't always in your favor.
review 2: This book overall was good and inspiring.I'm sure people can relate to Rettas next step in life even if you weren't going into the music business.It made you think about leaving home for the fist time and going on to get reach your career after high school. I would recommend this book to all to anyone willing to listen to Rettas story and learn little things about country singers and their path to fame. less
