"Gail Shalan, Mark Sanderlin, and Patti Murin dynamically bring to life this dramatic and tender country music story. Elle Harlow debuts at the Grand Ole Opry. Then, reeling from loss and heartache, she commits an act of rage and vanishes for 18 years. Nearly two decades after Elle disappears, Marijohn Shaw collects memorabilia attributed to the singer. She lives with her father, who claims to be the last person to have seen Elle alive. When Marijohn and her best friend, Laz, perform on TV using an old mandolin, Elle may be forced out of hiding to reclaim it. Listeners will appreciate the addition of original soulful songs performed by the narrators, which have been woven throughout the audiobook.
This is a rich, lyrical reflection on love, friendship, and the enduring power of music."
