Strains of Music

From humble roots in Cajun Corners, Sheila Banet achieves her dream of becoming a country music superstar. To maintain the carefree image fans like, she keeps dark secrets about her past and present - including a husband, William, and a daughter, Kana. When events lead to William's death, his father, Great Pa, is the only witness, but the shock triggers a stroke that keeps him in a coma and speechless for four years. Sheila takes Kana on tour as her sister, but when Jim Granger, Sheila's manager, learns her secrets and blackmails her into deeper trouble, Kana's childhood friend, Joe Tarwater, heads an investigation. As Kana becomes the romantic interest of both men, she learns Great Pa is awake and able to speak, and wishes to reveal her father's killer. Will Sheila reveal her secrets, too, and acknowledge Kana as her daughter? Will the truth bring her love, or will it cost Kana her life?Brown, Roberta Simpson is the author of 'Strains of Music', published 2004 under ISBN 9781413744187 and ISBN 1413744184.
