Because by R.K. Slade

d20e6b80-7fb7-47a5-b6e2-105557f5d077Can music save you when everything comes crashing down?

Teen musician Rigby Raines is a shy introvert who loves the Beatles & Beethoven. She wants one thing in life: to follow in her mother’s footsteps as drum major of her marching band.


Devastated from losing her mom to cancer, she’s torn between extreme stage fright & the desire to honor her mom.


Bullied for years by know-it-all band queen Taura, an unexpected discovery allows Rigby to face the past & experience the adventure of a lifetime.


Does Rigby have what it takes to conquer her fears, stand up for herself, & win the tryouts?
