Paige Winsome has always been in the shadow of her athletic brother and academic sister and, as a result, is too often overlooked by her family.

Kate Kennedy, a pastor's daughter and only child, received plenty of praise and attention for her voice, but her family struggles to make ends meet and must constantly accept others' charity - and put downs.

No sooner do Paige and Kate meet and become fast friends than they discover they're both entering the same singer-songwriter competition and competing for the same $400 prize. Each girl sees this contest as an answer to her problem - for Paige to finally get the recognition she's been waiting, and for Kate, to help others financially without having to ask for handouts. Can this new friendship survive the stress of competition? After all, only one can win ...

"This book is excellent. The girls are real, and their conflicts engage the heart. A laugh-out-loud, cry-out-loud, cheer-out-loud book." Romantic Times Book Review, Top Pick, 4 1/2 stars
