Vanessa and Gracie meet at the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. They decide to become roommates and live in a small cottage on campus. They're both from southwest Virginia and it's instantly noticeable to the other girls at the college because of their pure country girl Southern drawls. They've booth been sheltered all their lives and have never ventured far from their small towns. The Washington, D.C., area is a real experience for them, but they tackle it in a "live and learn" manner. Gracie meets Manny Santos, a member of a rock band, and he invites them to leave college and go on tour with the band. The tour is full of excitements, achievements, loves, losses and disappointments, and packed full of tangled stumbling blocks. This is a great story of a young woman's determination to press forward regardless of the setbacks faced in their lives.
Excerpt
Our flight leaves tonight and I've never flown before. I'm feeling a little anxiety, but I can't wait to see Luke. We arrive at the airport and I look at Gracie, saying, "Girl, what in the heck have you talked me into? I don't want to get on this darn airplane. You know I'm afraid of these contraptions. I know we're going to Nashville, but I don't want to die like Patsy Cline did. You know she died in an airplane crash, didn't you? If something happens to this plane, I'm blaming you."
