"This is a very entertaining novel, with effortless writing, naturalistic dialogue, and a good dose of humor. On the surface, it's a tale set in the glittering, frantic world of a touring musical act. Dig deeper, however, and you'll find a story about flawed, damaged characters searching for the light that will lead them out of the darkness that has been created for, or by, themselves." - Wendy Lee, author of The Art of Confidence, Across a Green Ocean, and Happy Family (Booklist Top Ten First Novels of 2008).Sixteen-year-old Geri Randall's life is turned upside down when her late sister's fiance, Dez Deacon, a washed-up rock star, is named her guardian.

That desire hits a sour note when Dez's treatment of her becomes too much to bear. What ensues is a battle of wills between her and her temperamental guardian, a collision course that will push Geri to do the unthinkable to get what she wants.

He's the last living member of the legendary Yogi Bear cartoons. He's an accomplished actor whose career has spanned nearly 60 years. He's a motivational speaker who rather than preparing a script, speaks from his heart and believes without a doubt each word spoken. But that's merely the outer surface of a man who is nothing less than the epitome of the word gentleman.Jimmy Weldon began his colorful life in Dale, Texas in 1923. The youngest of three children, Jimmy had to carve a niche to set himself apart from his two star athlete older brothers. He found his outlet in the entertainment industry, but not without a bit of horror tossed in for good measure. His first taste of the silver screen was at the ripe old age of seven, when he saw his first film on Halloween and was immediately convinced that he'd witnessed murder! While spending his teenage years working as a paper boy, Jimmy was inspired by R. M. John, who strolled through the office one day talking exactly like 'Donald Duck.' Little did anyone know just how profound an affect those few moments would be. Jimmy would practice his 'Donald Duck' every chance he got, even to the point of making those around him wish he would go away. They changed their minds when Jimmy won a radio contest after singing a rendition of "Three Little Ducks" as none other than 'Donald.'Throughout the years, Jimmy continued to follow his dream and found his way to Hollywood. In 1990, he put pen to paper and began writing his memoirs, aptly named, Go Get 'Em Tiger. Proving once again that his respect for others far outweighs his personal life, after jotting down a story about an incident in Algebra class, he picked up the phone to call his teacher just to say thank you and to tell him that he was loved. He shares stories that serve to inspire and empower people, and at the same time provide entertainment and meaning. That's just Jimmy's way.His most famous characters are 'Yakky Doodle' and 'Webster Webfoot,' but as wonderful as those two characters are, they'll never be able to match the character of the man who brought them and so many others to life. His incredible gift for character voices is far more than a talent to show off when appearing at a convention or giving one of his inspiration-filled speeches; it's a way for Jimmy to share his contagious enthusiasm with people, and more importantly, it's a chance for others to have a glimpse into the soul of a man whose sole purpose in life is to provide others with the spirit and determination to realize their dreams, just as he has over the course of his lifetime.

Throughout the pages of this fictional tale, Janis Pryor invites us to consider several dynamics including how to envision addressing reparations, one family at a time; how to name the ways in which white fragility plays out from both conservative and liberal positions; the reality of racism as a mental health issue; and the way in which Christianity has colluded with and perpetuated the racial divide.It's a tale full of riches and lessons to be learned about the lives people lead, how they treat others, and the realization that first impressions are not always what they appear to be.
