Rise to the Sun

A stunning novel about being brave enough to be true

to yourself, and learning to find joy even when times are unimaginably

dark.

Three days.

Two girls.

One life-changing music festival.

Toni is grieving the loss of her roadie father

and needing to figure out where her life will go from here - and

she’s desperate to get back to loving music. Olivia is a hopeless

romantic whose heart has just taken a beating

(again) and is beginning to feel like she’ll always be a square

peg in a round hole - but the Farmland Music and Arts Festival is

a chance to find a place where she fits.

The two collide and it feels like something like

kismet when a bond begins to form. But when something goes wrong

and the festival is sent into a panic, Olivia and Toni will find

that they need each other (and music) more than they ever imagined.

A joyous, Black girl rom-com about finding love and being true

to yourself

Explores the power of communal joy to bring people together,

even in the most uncertain of times
