Synopsis...
Amber Vaughn is a good girl. She sings solos at church, babysits her
nephew after school, and spends every Friday night hanging out at her best
friend Devon’s house. It’s only when Amber goes exploring in the woods near her
home, singing camp songs with the hikers she meets on the Appalachian Trail,
that she feels free—and when the bigger world feels just a little bit more in
reach.
When Amber learns about an audition at the North Carolina School of the
Arts, she decides that her dream—to sing on bigger stages—could also be her
ticket to a new life. Devon’s older (and unavailable) brother, Will, helps
Amber prepare for her one chance to try out for the hypercompetitive arts
school. But the more time Will and Amber spend together, the more complicated
their relationship becomes . . . and Amber starts to wonder if she’s such a
good girl, after all.
Then, in an afternoon, the bottom drops out of her family’s world—and
Amber is faced with an impossible choice between her promise as an artist and
the people she loves. Amber always thought she knew what a good girl would do.
But between “right” and “wrong,” there’s a whole world of possibilities.
