For sixteen year old Peyton Lane, life has never been easy. She’s not popular, overweight, and oh yeah, her sister is embarrassed of her. But over the course of a tumultuous year, everything changes for Peyton.
Suddenly all eyes are on her and it’s not because she’s
fat. From a pair of handsome twins to a couple of dangerously sexy rockers,
Peyton will have to find out who she can trust with her heart. From the ups and
downs to the twists and turns—this is Peyton’s story of finding one’s voice and
growing into your own.

Excerpt:
“Are
you actually serious…you want us to play in a rock band?” Brooklyn asked the
night I made the suggestion.
“Yeah,
why not? We love this—why are we standing by on the sidelines when we can be
the ones on stage?”
Madison
cocked her head towards me, he red curls cascading down her shoulder. “She does
have a point.”
“What
would we even call ourselves?” Brooklyn posed another question, obviously
warming up to the idea.
“How
about a Change in Time? We’ve definitely been going through some changes these
past few months…I think it seems oddly fitting.” And so it was, we decided to
hold auditions for the rest of our key players.
I
was so excited to be able to finally sing my lyrics out loud, with music in the
background. Everyone had made such a big deal at the Karaokethon that it instilled confidence in me I never had before.
It was a strange feeling getting a standing ovation and knowing my two biggest
haters were somewhere in the crowd. I felt like Jax’s eyes were boring into me,
judging me. For once in my life though, I was concentrating on what made me
happy.
In
the band, Madison took on the role of violinist/back-up vocalist, Brooklyn
signed on as the drummer, and we found an amazing guitarist, with tons of
potential and performance background, Noah Leaderman, who conveniently also
sang harmonies. Harper Michaels joined in as the keyboardist, and Josiah Jensen
rounded up the band as the kickass bassist. We were actually surprisingly good.
We devoted endless hours to writing, practicing, and rehearsing and it was
definitely paying off in the right way.
The
rapport that we were able to build within the band in such a short amount of
time playing together was refreshing. I woke up breathing music, I went to bed
breathing it. I never realized just how much it ran through my blood. Music fueled
me.
