Fourteen-year-old Hudson is a gifted singer/songwriter like her mother, pop sensation Holla Jones, but while working on her debut album, Hudson struggles to convince her mother that she would rather stick with her own, intimate style than follow her mother's path to fame.

The daughter of chart-topping pop star Holla Jones, stylish and sensitive Hudson Jones is on the brink of her own musical debut. Hudson has inherited her mother's talent, but she hasn't yet embraced Holla's love of the megawatt spotlight. Can Hudson find a way to perform that reflects her own low-key style? Or will Holla see to it that her only daughter becomes a pop music sensation?

Go behind the music in this third novel in Joanna Philbin's stylish and heartfelt Daughters series.

Pretty good girl book. Easy read. Better than the second one in the series and about the same as the first one.

musical star. She's recorded her tracks. But when her mom heard them, she changed them. Now, they don't represent Hudson's style, and the songs are so similar to her mom's that Hudson knows they aren't for her.Hudson Jones loves music - soulful music that makes you think. She's not interested in the bubble-gum pop music her mother's famous for singing.

Trying to be true to yourself when your mom is already successful in the same career you are choosing to go into is difficult for anyone, but for Hudson Jones it is even more stressful. Painfully shy and perpetually "nice," Hudson lacks the courage and the inner strength to stand up for her dreams

in the face of her mother's super stardom dominance. But through the uncanny help of a less than popular girl who doubles as a life coach, Hudson discovers the strength needed to stand up to her mother and pursue her music career in her own way, no matter what anyone else thinks. A great read for those teens struggling to find their inner voice when the outside world threatens to drown them out.
