Sometimes you get older before you actually grow up, and twenty-seven-year-old Kennedy James is about to discover just that.
Sure, she has a fiancé and a future, but she realizes (just in time) that it isn't quite the future she wants-much to her down-home Arkansan family's chagrin.
Stifled by the conventions of Southern society, the expectations of older generations, and the everyday struggles of being a responsible adult and professional woman, Kennedy is in desperate need of a change.
She ditches the ring and starts over closer to home. With the help of a lively best friend, a new puppy, and a few nights with too much alcohol (OK, maybe more than a few), her decision to embark on a "Year of Yes" drives her closer and closer to her true self.
Through everything, she slowly discovers a person she can truly love-the quirky, empowered, karaoke-loving Kennedy she hasn't had the pleasure of meeting yet.
About the Author: The Karaoke Queen is the breakout novel of author Annie Powers. As the daughter of an English teacher, literature is in her blood. However, she prefers to choose her own topics rather than follow assignments. She is also an avid reader in her spare time.
By day, Annie is a health-care provider. She completed her graduate schooling in Tennessee, but she is a native Arkansan and earned her bachelor's from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville.
