Grieving fifteen-year-old Jayne finds her dead father's science journal which is filled with private lectures and hand written theories that mirror the darkly restrictive circumstances unfolding in her life. After moving to a challenging new home environment, this journal seems to be both prophetic and comforting. The lectures inside foresee a chance encounter with Jonah, a science nerd and musician who may guide Jayne through her grief. But is Jayne willing to betray the lessons in the journal when the words no longer align with what she wants the advice to say? How can she decide if running away and risking it all for new love is worth the price of losing her last connection to her Mom and Dad? And what about the unexpected new caretaker role Jayne now plays for her younger cousin? Can Jayne ever outrun her destiny? And if so, is love the right reason why Jayne should try?Songs from the Other Side is a wrenching story about love and loss written with comedic characters who bring laughter, optimism and insight into this heartbreakingly beautiful tale.
