The High Notes

by Danielle Steel

Book Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In this heartfelt novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, a young woman with an unforgettable voice fights for the freedom to pursue her dreams.

Iris Cooper has been singing ever since she can remember, hitting the high notes like no one else. When she is twelve, her father convinces the owner of a bar in Lake City, Texas, to let her perform, and she stuns the audience. In the ensuing years, never staying anywhere for long, father and daughter move from one dusty town to the next, her passion for music growing every time she takes the mike in another roadhouse.

But it is not an easy life for Iris with her father in charge and using her income to pay for gambling, women, and booze. When she starts to tour at age eighteen, she takes on a real manager. Yet he exploits her too, and the singers and musicians she tours with are really the only family she has. It is they who give Iris the courage to finally fly free, leave the tour, and follow her dreams.

After years of enduring the hardships of the road, exploitation, and abuse to do what she loves, Iris's big chance comes as her talent soars. But at the top at last, Iris still has to fight every step of the way. In The High Notes, Danielle Steel delivers an inspiring story about finding the strength to stand up for yourself and your dreams, no matter what it takes.

Customer Reviews

Women's Fiction

This is a Women's Fiction. I really loved the main character, and I loved the wild ride this book takes you on. The only thing I did not love the big event that happens at the end of this book because I did not think it was needed. There was a lot that happened in this short book, but it was written well and well done. Another Danielle Steel book I enjoyed. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
