Description
Rock & roll stardom is something you dream about when you're young, and for Libby Conlin, the '80s and all their wild promise are ancient history. What pulls her attention now is the arrival of Bridget, her newly divorced daughter, home again despite their historically fractious relationship. When Bridget's application to a local art school involves anonymously posting Libby's old songs online and they unexpectedly garner the attention of industry gatekeepers, Libby's mysterious past-and all its dark secrets-comes roaring into the present, sparking a reconfiguration of everything and everyone in her orbit that's both bittersweet and life changing.
Chick Singer explores a complex mother/daughter relationship against a backdrop of music, dreams, and love-and the art of redefining all three.
