Reach for this book if your child is struggling to define their own identity or interests while living in the shadow of a high achieving or charismatic parent. It is an ideal choice for the teen who feels pressured to conform to a specific family legacy or career path but secretly desires a different, more authentic way of expressing their talents. The story follows fourteen year old Hudson Jones, the daughter of a global pop star. While Hudson is a gifted musician, she lacks her mother's desire for the spotlight and prefers intimate, acoustic songwriting over flashy performances. The book explores the nuances of the mother daughter bond, the anxiety of public performance, and the courage required to say no to a pre-packaged version of success. It is a grounded, realistic look at finding your own voice and setting boundaries with those you love most.
