Songs In Ursa Major, for lovers or music and more. Five *

 

Songs in Ursa Major  by Emma Brodie

 

When Janie Quinn takes the stage at her tiny island’s summer Folk Fest, her local band suddenly subbing for superstar Jessie Reid, she has no real idea of the ride she’s about to go on. Not only does the connection she feels with her fans provide her with the sense of belonging she’s sought since being abandoned as a child, it also opens doors--to Jessie, the strength of his success, and even his piano. Janie’s gift is not something she takes lightly, and conforming isn’t part of the fabric of her family. Songs in Ursa Major leaves readers yearning for Jane to succeed, for Jane and Jessie to find their way together, and for the music industry to find a conscience. I won’t tell you which of those are resolved but will say that for anyone who’s ever been an artist—whether it be with paint or words or music, this story will grab hold and remind you why you do it, and what you are up against.

 

A great story you will not want to put down. Brava Emma Brodie!
