Living the Dream (Amy Peppercorn)

Living the Dream (Amy Peppercorn)

by JohnBrindley (Author)

Synopsis

Amy is an overnight sensation. She is top of the pops. She's abandoned school and A levels for a five year contract with Solar Records and a punishing regime of dance routines and singing lessons, endless rehearsals and her first tour. It's a huge success. But in the middle of all the glamour and fame, Amy has never felt so utterly lonely. Geoff is dead and Ben is on remand. She seems to be losing her best friend Beccs and even Mum is slipping out of reach. That's when Jag - one of her dancers - comes into her life. It seems as though he's the answer to her dreams and Amy clings to him desperately. But will her dreams turn into nightmares? There are certainly some big surprises in store.
J Brindley has written a heart-searching, page-turning sequel to 'Amy Peppercorn: Starry-eyed and screaming' which once again packs a massive emotional punch.
