Rifts and Refrains - Paperback

"Unique, fresh and gripping." - Kennedy Ryan, New York Times Bestselling Author

Amara Johnson has spent her life following the rules, always choosing stability over risk. But when she returns to Memphis for her estranged grandfather's funeral, she inherits more than just his crumbling house. She inherits his unfinished story. A once-renowned blues musician, his name has been nearly erased, his legacy buried beneath family silence and years of regret.

Jake Barnes knew the man her family won't speak of. He also sees something in Amara she has spent years trying to ignore. When he offers her a chance to record in Nashville, the pull is undeniable. But stepping into a world built on dreams means confronting the ones she abandoned. As she stands at a crossroads between the life she has always known and the one she never let herself imagine, Amara must decide whether to follow expectations or finally find the courage to listen to her own voice.
