Synopsis

Jody Pritchett had a dream...but life had other plans. Instead of singing and dancing on Broadway, Jody's a twenty-year-old single mom, living at home with her disapproving father and overbearing sister. The choice to keep her little Angelia came with a high price and although she adores her baby girl, it doesn't take away the sting of kissing goodbye her chance at a career on the stage. Leo Sinclair had his own dream...but got lost along the way. After a failed marriage that left him hollow and downtrodden, the Australian songwriter wonders what joy his future could possibly hold. Encouraged by the one family member who doesn't think he's a failure, Leo decides to stop living the life everyone expects him to and start chasing his dreams again. When the perfect opportunity comes knocking, Leo leaves Australia behind and hops a flight to LA. With his sights set on selling a musical to a Broadway producer, Leo is determined to finally realize his life-long dream. But life gets in the way again, when he spots a young mother outside his apartment in tears. He never realized how one person, one voice, and one Angel could have him contemplating abandoning his dreams once again. As these two burned hearts wrestle to overcome their past struggles, Leo and Jody must decide what dreams are worth clinging to...because, sometimes, everything you want is not everything you need.

Dreams can come true.

Jody and Leo have both put their dreams on hold for other people.  Jody, for her baby daughter; Leo for what his family wanted.  Leo takes the first step to follow his dream of writing a Broadway musical, which leads him into Jody's life and to his muse.  Jody feels like she has let everybody down by becoming pregnant at a young age and those around her have put their lives on hold to help.  Her chance encounter with Leo opens a whole new future of possibilities for her and a chance to live again.  

This is beautiful story about following your dreams and creating new ones.  It is about finding that one person to love that totally gets you and encourages you to follow your heart.  Both Leo and Jody will find a place in your heart, along with Jody's sweetheart baby Angelia.  Jody's journey of self discovery is one that is precious and sings to your heart.  Set against the backdrop of some amazing music that adds to the story and brings extra meaning to some really beautiful scenes to make an amazingly emotional, wonderful read.
