First Shelly imagined a musical legend.
Then she brought it to life.
Careful what you wish for, Shelly.
2006, dawn of social media. Paralegal Shelly Griffin is 43, single, stuck in small-town dead-end Rust Belt, Ohio. When she discovers a song by Decapede about a dying local beer, she inadvertently triggers the first-ever viral clip on the internet and finds herself leading a frenzied search for the long-forgotten band.
The Greatest Band that Never Was is a saga of overnight celebrity, lives turned upside-down and recreated, found family, local pride, with one indomitable woman changing lives with her dream. And driving it all, the magic of Rock & Roll.
A moving, often heart-warming story that brought me to tears a handful of times. Addictive reading.--David Schloss, Professor of Creative Writing, Miami University (Ohio)
Meshel has written something magical--and epic.--Ian Boyle, author of What the Dormouse Said
