Book Overview
Will the music that brought them together ultimately tear them apart?
It’s 1985 and singer-songwriter Sapphire dreams of being a rockstar. Too bad she’s bound for college and a career far from the spotlight. Then she meets a guitar-shredding, tequila-swilling, man-eating mess named Destiny. They have little in common. Sapphire is an honor student with loving parents while Destiny spent her childhood bouncing from place to place with her drifter mother. But the one thing that they do share is their love of heavy metal. So when Sapphire and her new BFF catch the eye of a local band, it’s goodbye college and hello Sunset Strip.
But instead of fame, Destiny and Sapphire find only poverty and disillusionment. Band members come and go and so do their dreams of a record deal. They could use a break. Or, an ex-junkie jazz drummer. What happens next is legendary but will put their friendship to the ultimate test.
The Metal Sisters is for everyone who has ever camped out in a snowstorm for concert tickets or holed up in their bedrooms playing guitar until their fingers callused. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and most of all, you’ll want to share this book with your best friend.
