A down-on-her-luck country music singer finds sudden stardom, and backstage backstabbing, in this funny, “fast-paced, feel-good novel” (Booklist).
 
After getting kicked off the tour by a famous, egomaniacal performer, sexy Sarah Jean Pixlie is suddenly catapulted from struggling backup singer to blazing star on the country music scene. Encountering more than her share of conniving backstabbers, she has the bad judgment to fall in love with a couple of musicians, but the good fortune to have the (often misguided) support of a very offbeat family. But no matter what befalls her, she pours her irreverent, savvy soul into the lyrics of her songs, including “Hell on Heels,” “Credit Card Christmas,” and “My Baby Used to Hold Me (Now He’s Putting Me on Hold).” Witty and fresh, this Northern California-to-Nashville romp is a great performance on stage and on the page.
