Summary

Dreamscape First: Enjoy exclusive audiobooks from Dreamscape Media—before they're available in any other format.

Music
Born and raised in Atlanta by a father who blames the family rift on music, Amara Johnson’s talent for guitar and passion for poetry have always been just that: talent and passion that she channels into her work as a music teacher. When her estranged grandfather—a man known as much for his raspy, soulful blues songs as his perplexing personality—passes away, Amara discovers a collection of old letters, journals, and a tattered photo that offer more questions than answers.

Legacy
Jake Barnes, part of legendary country music star Evelyn Hart’s management team, is blown away by Amara’s voice when he sees her perform at her grandfather’s burial. Enraptured, he offers her a deal: he’ll help her uncover the truth about her family’s past if Amara agrees to come to Nashville and sing for him.

Love
Against a backdrop of music and the drive for answers, Amara and Jake grow closer, testing the boundaries of friendship as the summer passes. With Jake’s help, Amara is on the brink of a blindingly bright future, preparing to share her undeniable talent with the world. But when Jake confronts some unsettling truths, he’s torn—between Evelyn, who he considers family, and Amara…the woman he’s slowly falling in love with.
