Chasing Stardust

A funny and heartfelt novel about learning who your parents are as people, finding yourself, and falling in love in the strangest places--with a David Bowie soundtrack of a lifetime.

A crazy promise is still a promise. Zoey Jones is spreading her late mother's ashes along a path her eccentric grandma G-Lo followed in 1972: David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust tour. G-Lo was no ordinary groupie. According to her, Zoey's mom was conceived somewhere between Memphis and Malibu, and Zoey's grandpa is the glam rock icon himself. Revving up G-Lo's old Cutlass, complete with her mother's journal and a Ziggy Stardust 8-track, Zoey hits the open road.

After breaking down outside Nashville, Zoey is weighing her next move when she makes an immediate connection with Dash Hammond at an all-night diner. Dash is a college graduate fleeing the expectations of his family just as fiercely as Zoey tries to make sense of her own family's colorful past. He offers to drive Zoey on the remainder of a life-changing road trip, and it's more epic than Zoey ever dreamed.

What lies ahead is a cross-country journey of self-discovery, first love, glittering revelations, and finding the heart of a rebel that's been beating inside Zoey the whole time.
