Love & Other Near Death Experiences

Rising star Talisa Belle seemingly has it all: the angelic look, cool vintage sound and world of country music in the palm of her hand. But she has other things, too. Like those moments she feels disconnected from others and unable to be touched. Despite years of grooming by eager stage parents obsessed with launching a legend, nothing can erase her spot on the spectrum. And as her star climbs, inside she feels she's sinking. Until new writing partner Jade Johnson walks into her studio.

With an easy, crooked smile that masks a deep well of emotional intelligence, Jade proves that Talisa's heart really exists, and coaxes out all that is genuine inside of her. For the first time in her life Talisa feels more like a real girl than a manufactured doll. Love was never on the set list, but it just might be enough to save her from herself.
