In Book One of the Cadence Series (Deceptive Cadence), Maggie has become a shadow of the vibrant young lady she'd once been. Desperate to restore the Maggie they knew, Maggie's parents, and a few other key people, take matters into their own hands. Maggie suddenly finds herself propelled into the very arena she fears. She has to decide if she is able to sing without allowing adoring audiences, and the inevitable applause, to derail her common sense. Gradually, curiosity begins to replace Maggie's fear of repeating the past. Many believe Maggie can reach the pinnacle of fame and success as a world-class vocalist. Maggie just has to decide if that is what she wants. Complicating her choices is a deepening love for Chad Kennely, a man destined to live and farm in a small community hours away from any credible stage. Before Maggie can make any decisions about her future, the foundations upon which she has depended are ripped out from her life. She finds herself alone, far away from Chad, and under the management of a ruthless agent who is interested only in his bottom line. Maggie must figure out what matters most to her or risk losing everything.
