In 1977, naive, twenty-one-year-old Maggie Lennon leaves Northern Ireland to look for summer work in America. What she finds is a job as an all-night DJ for Radio WA1A, a boss called Zollie D Follie and a best friend, Sharla Emma-Lea Ayn, who introduces her to dope, shaved legs and sex with blond-haired surfers. And there's no going back after that. When the radio station relocates to Tennessee, Maggie's life is turned upside down by two men: Nate, the handsome son of a rich Southern family; and Buford, a Country and Western rock star. But as Maggie's professional life takes off and she becomes a player in the music business, so her love life crash-lands...
Annie McCartney used to be an actress but more recently she has made her name writing plays for UK and Irish radio. She is the author of one other novel.
