A Rose Blooms in Tupelo

Frances Rose Laborde grew up on a remote island, unattached to cellphones, fast foods and shopping malls, yet in a few short months she captured the modern world with her guttural, bluesy voice and striking good looks. With hair of red, green eyes and the uncanny, spitting image of her grandmother, once America's sweetheart. They say her music talent falls to her grandfather, the most popular guy in music, then and now. Beneath an ancient Magnolia tree in the town square of Tupelo, Mississippi, a seventeen year old girl touches her past and steps over from childhood into a determined, remarkably talented young woman. Wherever her musical talents come from, and no matter how incredibly talented she is, the Twenty-Twenty Consortium wants the seventeen year old pop star dead.
