In 1977, a New Jersey junior high school teacher who spends her weekends at Studio 54 discovers two musicians who become among the most influential artists of the 1980s – and decades later, having burned bridges with them both, tells her story in hopes of securing her rightful place in rock ‘n’ roll history.

—Patricia Park, author of What’s Eating Jackie Oh?
“A deliciously deranged cri de coeur.”
— Christopher Castellani, author of Leading Men
“There’s a strong case to be made that this is the Great New Jersey Novel.”
— Yael Goldstein-Love, author of The Possibilities
