Billboard Express
Elle has come to Nashville to become a star. She has what it takes, but her agent and all the label executives want to change everything about her--her hair, her body, her clothes and, most important, her music. So Elle becomes a blond, sings about cookin' for her man and wears tiny shorts and revealing tank tops. Then a chance meeting with an established female songwriter makes Elle realize that she's paying too high a price for success.
Billboard Express continues the story that began in Rock the Boat by Sigmund Brouwer.

Although this is technically a sequel to "Rock the Boat", it stands on it's own just fine.
Elle loves music and desperately wants to be a singer/songwriter. She is living in Nashville and working hard to make the dream come true despite many challenges along the way.
A good hi-lo read, especially for those with an interest in music and the music industry.
