Sarah used to live her life and dream of her future, but now, since everything shattered around her, she’s merely existing, moving through each day without the same passion or thirst for life that she once had. It’s made clear that music is not just a career that’s made the hero famous it’s a way for him to express himself…to show the world who he is and what he thinks…and it’s a way for his fans to not only connect with him but also to absorb his words and apply them to their own lives.Īdam Jacobson may appear to be a typical out of control rock star, but there’s definitely more to him that the persona he created for his fans, and it’s the man and father he is beneath his rocker facade that will endear him to readers.Īnd I love how unexpected Adam’s character is…because while he and his band seem to live up to the outrageous life and antics that the media portrays them to have, Adam knows what truly matters in life and he does his best to put his daughter first, protecting her at all costs. I’ve always felt that the lyrics and melodies of songs speak to the musicians who create them and their listeners in all kinds of ways, and the power of music and words is definitely something explored in Lauren Runow’s newest release, Our Song. I have to wonder if it was more than fate that brought his little girl into my classroom. Secrets I’ve kept and thoughts of that fatal night come crashing back into my life. Only problem is I need to stay away from the memories he ignites, and the temptations he brings my way. He needs my help to keep her out of the media, and with each exchange we grow closer.

When they move to my small town, their secret is blown. What no one knows is behind the music is a caring, straightedge man with a secret - a daughter who the world is about to discover. While he and his band tour the world, they leave a trail of mayhem. Her father living the exact life I almost had.Īdam Jacobson is known as the bad boy of rock. That is, until the world I had to leave behind, showed up in my classroom in the form of a five-year-old little girl. After a devastating accident crushed my dreams, I ended up back in my hometown teaching kindergarten.
