I have wondered this myself. Could the Prologue be added as a sales technique, since so often you can sample the first few pages of a book before purchasing it?MsH2k wrote: ↑15 Jan 2020, 14:50 I find it frustrating when there are disconnects between the prologue and the rest of the book. It sets the tone for you to look for something that never happens. I often wonder if the prologue is written at a different time than the novel itself. In spite of this, it sounds like a wonderful book. I hope Joey ends up with the woman he loves and a wonderful musical career. Thank you for your review!

It truly is! Its amazing just how much and how far Joey would go in order to follow his passion. His mother as an advocate helped so much in the development of the story plot and to me it was a relief to know that Joey wasn't completely alone in his pursuits. Thanks so much for reaching out!kdstrack wrote: ↑28 Jan 2020, 19:12 This is an amazing story. So many people struggle to identify their passion.

It really was such a good book! I loved that his mother was there for him, in spite of the circumstances that unfold.
