Sixteen-year-old Taliah Abdallat has many clues that rock star Julian Oliver is her father, but it's not until he shows up at her door that she knows for sure. She agrees to accompany him to his Indiana hometown, where she meets her dying grandfather and the rest of the family. This beautifully told story about music, love, and family packs an emotional punch.
