As the daughter of legendary rock guitarist Flesh, sixteen-year-old Desert McGraw leads a privileged life under the watchful eye of the paparazzi. When newfound friendships and a parental shakeup disrupt her comfortable lifestyle, Desert learns lessons in humility and gratitude. Despite some unbelievable plot turns, this frothy novel owes its charm to Desert's humorously abrasive personality.
