520 "Iris Cooper has been singing ever since she can remember,
hitting the high notes like no one else. When she is
twelve, her father convinces the owner of a bar in Lake
City, Texas, to let her perform, and she stuns the
audience. In the ensuing years, never staying anywhere for
long, father and daughter move from one dusty town to the
next, her passion for music growing every time she takes
the mike in another roadhouse. But it is not an easy life
for Iris with her father in charge and using her income to
pay for gambling, women, and booze. When she starts to
tour at age eighteen, she takes on a real manager. Yet he
exploits her too, and the singers and musicians she tours
with are really the only family she has. It is they who
give Iris the courage to finally fly free, leave the tour,
and follow her dreams. After years of enduring the
hardships of the road, exploitation, and abuse to do what
she loves, Iris's big chance comes as her talent soars.
But at the top at last, Iris still has to fight every step
of the way. In the High Notes, Danielle Steel delivers an
inspiring story about finding the strength to stand up for
yourself and your dreams, no matter what it takes." --Dust
