This Dissonant Princess: A Train Track Princes Novel

Goodtown, her ancestors built this prairie truck stop town. Black lipstick and platform boots can’t save seventeen-year-old Gemma Spelling from herself. On a hot summer night, she overdoses and lands in a psych ward with nothing but a journal full of songs. Despite diagnoses and therapy, the hospital does not give Gemma a direction, and in the wake of her overdose, she’s spinning out of control. Then, popular reality TV show Small Town, Big Talent selects Goodtown as one of its casting locations, and Gemma knows she has to be a part of it. With the bow of her cello and the songs scrawled into her notebook, she lands in Hollywood. Her stagnant, unbalanced life in Colorado becomes something much greater than she expected to find in Los Angeles. Between the people she left behind in Goodtown and the secret she’s been harboring for three years, being on national television can’t change what made her. But with the strength of one bipolar theater kid, her broken but well-meaning family, and the queer people of small towns across America, Gemma realizes she may not be facing the world alone.
