Publisher's Summary

After scoring the interview of a lifetime, blogger Harper Woodson navigates the spotty memory of a soul legend suffering from dementia. What starts as another biopic chronicling the singer’s successful career quickly morphs into a backstory filled with subterfuge.

Harper, orphaned as a child and tormented by her own flawed past, is intrigued, and begins dissecting the singer’s perfectly constructed rags-to-riches narrative, finding it void of any real information. The blogger is determined to find out why.

Then, one night, she witnesses the bedridden superstar in the throes of her neurocognitive disorder. She learns the shocking secret the entertainer has spent a lifetime trying to hide. Now armed with the details of the singer’s family shame, Harper unwittingly becomes part of the story.

Unforeseen danger lurking in the shadows for years uses the blogger to bring the soul legend’s family transgressions to light, putting Harper, the ailing songstress, and everyone around them in the crosshairs of the singer’s complicated past.
