Then my best friend died, and my half-hearted conversation piece of a goal was suddenly a driving need.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKris Gowen had a successful career, a wonderful partner, a strong circle of friends ... and then tragedy struck. Faced with the death of her best friend, she turned to something that brought her joy: karaoke. With a half-formed plan and a need to sing, she took off on a 17,774-mile karaoke road trip through America, singing in bars, American Legions, and Eagles Lodges, experiencing the country with people who sometimes had nothing more in common than a love of cheesy 80s tunes. Along the way, she reconnected with old friends, made new ones-and healed. Each time Kris took the microphone, she shed a little more grief, stepping into a world where everyone was accepted simply for singing a song they loved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karajoy Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48531273253105,"sku":"9781087932651","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781087932651_p0.jpg?v=1786297063","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781087932651","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
