About This Book

The hum of a guitar strings fills the air, mingling with the rumble of a train station beneath bright city lights. Two ex-best friends, Cass and Syd, chase the echoes of a band that once meant everything to Cass’s mom, embarking on a secret road trip that could change their lives forever. As music and memories collide, they face the question: can the past help them find their way back to each other?
