The heroine: Braxton Fawn – when Calvin Everill, lead guitarist for the mega famous band Bound dies from a drug overdose, the record label wants a guitarist that will improve the image of the band, so Braxton is hired as the new lead guitarist. It seemed easy enough when I boarded their tour bus, but it only took one city for the lines we’d drawn to blur. Somehow, I must resist the temptation of Houston Morrow, Loren James, and Jericho Noble. But the biggest threat of all isn’t a meticulous frontman, a narcissistic bassist, and a drummer with too many secrets. To succeed I have to survive a world tour, public scrutiny, and idols turned enemies. The label wants a new image, Bound wants me gone, but I’ve got my own agenda. It’s no secret I wasn’t their first choice. ![]() ![]() Jaded, gorgeous, and ridiculously talented-they’re determined to turn my dream into a nightmare. From dive bars to the big stage, my instant claim to fame is nothing short of a fairytale. When Bound loses its lead guitarist, yours truly is chosen to fill his shoes. I, Braxton Fawn, am the luckiest girl alive.Įvery so often, gods walk the earth. ![]()

As if navigating the constantly shifting landscape of sexual and racial politics as a young, black woman wasn't already hard enough, with nowhere else left to go, Edie finds herself falling headfirst into Eric's home and family. And then she meets Eric, a white, middle-aged archivist with a suburban family, including a wife who has sort-of-agreed to an open marriage and an adopted black daughter who doesn't have a single person in her life who can show her how to do her hair. No one seems to care that she doesn't really know what she's doing with her life beyond looking for her next hook-up.

If Mead’s influence were for the good, then she would deserve the profuse praise she received. Few women have been more adored, more honored and more influential than she. In 1979, a year after her death, Mead was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. For nearly half a century, whether writing scholarly articles from her desk at the American Museum of Natural History in New York or pontificating as contributing editor of the popular magazine Redbook, Mead helped to refashion attitudes on nearly every social issue. An immediate success, this slender volume established Mead as the most famous and most influential anthropologist of the 20th century. ![]() ![]() In 1928, Margaret Mead published Coming of Age in Samoa.
