THIS IS THE SECOND PART TO WHEN THE MUSIC STARTED
After escaping Tulsa and the life that nearly destroyed her, Dorothea "Dottie" Mills thought she had finally found her happy ending in California. With the help of her Aunt Jackie and famous music producer uncle Richard, Dottie becomes the singer she always dreamed of being. Sold out shows, interviews, hit songs, and flashing cameras transform the once broken greaser girl into one of music's fastest rising stars, but fame doesn't fix heartbreak.
For two years, Dottie believed the boys she left behind in Tulsa forgot about her, especially Sodapop Curtis, the boy she once promised to come back to someday.
Until she discovers a hidden box of unopened letters. Letters from Soda. From Ponyboy. From Evie. Even Dally.
Suddenly everything Dottie thought she knew about her past begins to unravel. Heartbroken and furious after learning her aunt hid the letters from her for years, Dottie leaves California behind and heads back to Tulsa for the first time since she left, but Tulsa isn't the same place she remembers. And neither is she.
Set after the events of The Outsiders, When the Music Restarted is a story about fame, first love, found family, grief, and what happens when the people who shaped your heart become strangers all over again.
