When folk legend Jesse Reid hears about Jane's performance at the island's music festival, a star is born--and so is a passionate love affair: they become inseparable when her band joins his on tour. Wary of being cast as his girlfriend--and haunted by her mother's shattered ambitions-- Jane shields her relationship from the public eye, but Jesse's star power pulls her into his orbit of fame. Caught up in the thrill of the road and the profound and lustful connection she has with Jesse, Jane is blind-sided by the discovery she makes about the dark secret beneath his music. Heartbroken and blackballed by the industry, Jane is now truly on her own: to make the music she loves, and to make peace with her family Shot through with the lyrics, the icons, the lore, the adrenaline of the early 70s music scene, \u003ci\u003eSongs in Ursa Major \u003c\/i\u003epulses with romantic longing and asks the question so many female artists must face: What are we willing to sacrifice for our dreams?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEMMA BRODIE has worked in book publishing for a decade, most recently as an Executive Editor at Little, Brown's Voracious imprint.
