No Place To Fall - Harper Teen - Fall 2014

Singing and boys. The two ways Amber Vaughn is able to escape. Because her family, well, they’re one big mess. When a representative from NC-Arts hears about Amber’s talent, he invites her to an audition. Amber seizes the chance. It’s the thing that could help her rise above. But her brother-in-law has other plans. He knows about Amber’s extra-curricular activities and gives her a choice. Help him steal prescription drugs or he’ll tell her Mama the only angelic thing about Amber is her voice. Before the audition. And whichever way she turns, Amber’s going to lose. Either the something she’s been dreaming about, the someone who’s found his way to her heart, or her reputation, where it matters most. At home.

Roan Mountain is what I had in mind when I pictured Amber "up on the bald" with Will.
