Running From Herself

When Leah Branch quit her band, she quit music for good. It was time to find a new life, even if that meant leaving her hometown behind and leaving the only thing she was ever good at. A last-minute stay at Chance, Wyoming’s only hotel had Leah ready to call the town her new home-for-life. She wrangled a job as a server in the town’s saloon and fell in love with the house band’s lead singer.

Then it all fell apart. One little omission doomed their romance for good. When her ex-flame dissolved his band, the saloon’s fortunes quickly soured, and if Leah was going to stay in Chance, she had to step up—to the microphone. And that’s when her big break finally arrived.

But once in Nashville, Leah found that the record label was eager to change everything about her, even her name. She wasn’t a soon-to-be star; she was a commodity.

Now Leah once again has a choice—live her life as a fraud or discover who she really is.

It’s not going to be easy.
