520    "Iris Cooper has been singing ever since she can remember,
       hitting the high notes like no one else. When she is 
       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, father and daughter 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 
       for Iris with her father in charge and using her income to
       pay for gambling, women, and booze. When she starts to 
       tour at age eighteen, she takes 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, Iris's 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." --Dust
