quiet in the chorus

Growing up in the spotlight is hard. Growing up in 2016 as Ivy Marjorie Swift? Nearly impossible.
At ten years old, Ivy Swift's world is a whirlwind of private jets, backstage passes, and an endless trail of flashbulbs. To the rest of the world, her mother Taylor is an unstoppable pop icon at the absolute peak of her career. But to Ivy, she's just Mom-the person who sings her to sleep, bakes late-night cookies, and teaches her how to write down her feelings when the noise outside gets too loud.

When summer arrives, Ivy is dropped into a whole new world: a quiet beach town far away from the stadium crowds. There, she builds a tight-knit circle of friends who don't care about red carpets or famous last names. Among them are Ethan, the quiet boy who always shares his sketchbook; Madison, her ride-or-die partner in crime; and a ragtag crew of kids-Jackson, Leo, Tara, Chloe, Henry, and Fiona-who just want to spend their days riding bikes, exploring coastal trails, and causing harmless trouble.

But as the media storm around her mother grows sharper and louder, Ivy realizes that keeping her childhood normal is going to take more than just secret hideouts and pinky promises.

A story about friendship, protecting the people you love, and finding your own voice when the whole world is listening.
