THE ACCIDENTALS

In the tradition of THE PRINCESS DIARIES and ABOUT A BOY, THE ACCIDENTALS is a contemporary novel that hits just the right notes of romance, heartbreak, and new beginnings.

Never ask a question unless you're sure you want the truth.

I've been listening to my father sing for my whole life. I carry him in my pocket on my mp3 player. It's just that we've never met face to face.
My mother would never tell me how I came to be, or why my rock star father and I have never met. I thought it was her only secret. I was wrong.

When she dies, he finally appears. Suddenly I have a first class ticket into my father's exclusive world. A world I don't want any part of not at this cost.

Only three things keep me going: my a cappella singing group, a swoony blue-eyed boy named Jake, and the burning questions in my soul. There's a secret shame that comes from being an unwanted child. It drags me down, and puts distance between me and the boy I love.

My father is the only one alive who knows my history. I need the truth, even if it scares me.
