On Tour: The Songwriter (On Tour)

Summary: Another book that sees into a teen's soul
Review: The Christian rock band, Second Rate, continues to gain fans and gigs. Their songs are gaining air play on the radio and things are looking up. Except for lead guitarist and songwriter, Darby McKennitt. What she wants most, a normal family life, seems to be out of her reach. She turns to her journal to work through her emotions as her parents' marriage disintegrates around her. When Ian Hunter shows an interest, she's suspicious. Is he interested in her for who she is, or because she's in a hot, new band? As Second Rate sets off on tour, she struggles to come to grips with her feelings about Ian and her parents' rocky marriage. What will happen when the tour comes to an end? Will her parents give her the news she dreads to here, but is sure that coming? What about Ian? Is he interested in her as Darby McKinnett, teenage girl, or Darby McKinnet, rock star rising? Barb Huff gets deep inside the soul of a struggling teenage girl and her efforts to cope with the world around her. The Songwriter is a book I'd buy for my teenage daughter.
