Publisher's summary

In this heartfelt novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, a young woman with an unforgettable voice fights for the freedom to pursue her dreams.

Iris Cooper has been singing ever since she can remember, hitting the high notes like no one else. At twelve, her father convinces the owner of a bar in Lake City, Texas, to let her perform, and she stuns the audience. In the ensuing years, never staying anywhere for long, they move from one dusty town to the next, her passion for music growing every time she takes the mike in another roadhouse.

But it is not an easy life with her father in charge and using her income to pay for gambling, women, and booze. When she signs on to tour at age eighteen, she resolves to take on a real manager. Yet he exploits her too, and the singers and musicians she tours with are really the only family she has. It is they who give Iris the courage to finally fly free, leave the tour, and follow her dreams.

After years of enduring the hardships of the road, exploitation, and abuse to do what she loves, her big chance comes as her talent soars. But at the top at last, Iris still has to fight every step of the way. In The High Notes, Danielle Steel delivers an inspiring story about finding the strength to stand up for yourself, and your dreams, no matter what it takes.

Loved The High Notes

I had to battle with myself to stop listening once I started. Danielle Steele has been blessed with the ability to create stories and characters that pull heartstrings. This one is one of her best!

Great Book just one problem

This was a great book and I really enjoyed it except for one part. I am from Biloxi, Mississippi the city that is continually referenced in the story which was great however the narrator mispronounced “Biloxi” every time he mentioned it. It’s not BullOxE it’s pronounced “Ba lux e” and we are from the coast of Mississippi so we do NOT have the strong southern drawl of northern MS it’s closer to a New Orleans accent. Just wish they would have the narrator do a bit of research before he got started. It was a great book but threw me off each time I hear him say Biloxi or try to do the Biloxi accent.

Very inspiring story

I really enjoyed this story. It gave me a look into how anyone can have a dream and see it come true. If you believe in yourself you can become anything you want to be no matter what the obstacles are. This story would make a great movie!
