Set amidst the bustling corridors of a hospital and the electrifying world of a touring rock band, the novel immerses readers in a journey of transformation and second chances.

Emma Morgan is a dedicated doctor whose life is upended when she receives an unexpected job offer to join the rock band, Altered Reality, as their personal photographer. From the gripping opening scene of a heart-stopping medical emergency to the soul-searching decisions that follow, Emma’s story is a compelling exploration of change and self-discovery.
