title: Singsation
author: Thomas, Jacquelin
description: Deborah Anne Peterson is grateful for her loving family, loyal friends, and the peaceful Georgia town that has sheltered her since childhood. But most of all, she gives thanks to God for giving her a phenomenal voice. Every time Deborah sings her heart out in church, she's transported by spiritual joy and a secret dream of superstardom that glorifies God before people all over the world. Her dream seems hopeless... until handsome rapper and hometown-boy-made-good Triage Blue hears her sing.
  
  With Triage's help, Deborah's demo tape lands on the desk of Lavelle Roberts, one of the R&B industry's biggest stars. Before she knows it, Deborah is hired as one of Lavelle's glamorous backup singers--and is plunged into a lifestyle far beyond her small-town ways. Under the guidance of sultry singer Phoebe Garland, Deborah finds herself at the hottest parties, wearing incredibly fancy clothes, and making more money than she'd ever thought possible. In the midst of all the excitement, she discovers that her gratitude and affection for the down-to-earth Triage is blossoming into something more.
  
  Yet in a world where having it all is never enough and mega-talent can't shield you from loneliness and pain, Deborah is about to face challenges she never imagined. Through the sheer, backbreaking work of touring--and dealing with out of-control egos-she must work harder than ever to put aside time for personal prayer and worship. Tested by the temptations of the road, and of Triage himself, Deborah must struggle to hold fast to her faith. And through fame's darkest, most dangerous passages, when unprecedented commercial success as a solo artist depends on putting her most precious values at risk, she must search deep within herself to uncover her deepest desires... and make a choice about God's place in her life.
