Die Sullivan-Schwestern haben keine Geheimnisse voreinander! Niemals. Aber genau das hat sich in den letzten Jahren geändert. Nun sind da nur noch verschlossene Türen und Dinge, die man einander nicht anvertrauen kann: Die 14-jährige Murphy, ihres Zeichens angehende Magierin, trauert um ihre Schildkröte. Die 17-jährige Claire hat gerade eine gnadenlose Absage von ihrem Traumcollege bekommen. Und die 18-jährige Eileen kämpft mit Dämonen, die immer weiter Besitz von ihr ergreifen. Doch dann setzt ein Brief, der die Schwestern über eine unerwartete Erbschaft informiert, eine Kette von Ereignissen in Gang, die ihrer aller Leben auf immer verändern wird. Drei außerordentliche Schwestern, ein gewaltiges Familiengeheimnis und ein mitternächtlicher Roadtrip ins Unbekannte

A must-read for fans of Julie Murphy and Ashley Herring Blake, this queer coming-of-age story from critically acclaimed author Kathryn Ormsbee sings with heart, warmth, and hope. An ALA Rainbow Book List selection! Born in Paris, Kentucky, and raised on her gram’s favorite country music, Cline Alden is a girl with big dreams and a heart full of song. When she finds out about a young musicians’ workshop a few towns over, Cline sweet-talks, saves, and maybe fibs her way into her first step toward musical stardom. But her big dreams never prepared her for the butterflies she feels surrounded by so many other talented kids—especially Sylvie, who gives Cline the type of butterflies she’s only ever heard about in love songs. As she learns to make music of her own, Cline begins to realize how much of herself she’s been holding back. But now, there’s a new song taking shape in her heart—if only she can find her voice and sing it. “Empowering, affirming, and sweet as all get-out.” —Lisa Jenn Bigelow, author of Drum Roll, Please
