Dolly Mack has everything the world thinks should make a woman happy: chart success, celebrity status, a rock-star husband, and a glamorous life in Los Angeles. But when a humiliating viral incident sends her career into freefall, Dolly does the only thing she can think to do-she runs.
Back in Iris Beach, the small ocean town she swore she'd outgrown, Dolly is forced to reckon with the people and places she left behind: her tender, reclusive father; the music teacher who first believed in her voice; and Adam Henry, the boy who once knew her before the world started telling her who to be.
As Dolly begins writing songs again for the first time in years, old memories surface-along with long-buried questions about Nathan, the golden boy she loved in high school who vanished without a trace. The deeper Dolly digs into the past, the harder it becomes to separate the life she's built from the life she abandoned. And when her estranged husband reappears just as old secrets begin to unravel, Dolly must choose between returning to the image the world understands and stepping into a future that feels terrifyingly, beautifully real.
Tender, emotionally sharp, and full of music, longing, and reinvention, Singer-Songwriter is a novel about first love, public image, grief, artistic identity, and the courage it takes to come home to yourself.
