the vixen effect | an original period piece

Before Broadway had legends, before jazz had kings, before New York became the city of dreams... four teenagers dared to believe they belonged there.

Elena believes her voice can carry her from immigrant to star. Joseph believes hard work is enough to build a future. Sophia believes music can create a place where everyone belongs. Fred believes there's a bigger world waiting beyond what everyone expects of him.

But as fame, ambition, prejudice, and power begin pulling them in different directions, they'll learn that dreams don't always break overnight. Sometimes they come true first. Spanning years of love, sacrifice, and survival, The Vixen Effect is a sweeping historical coming-of-age novel about the cost of chasing the American Dream and what happens when success asks for more than you're willing to give.
