Chasing the Midnight Sun

Belle and Charlotte are fast friends you won't forget. They deal with issues of female independence, though they love the men in their lives and receive much support from them, Belle, the novel's protagonist, describes her world with a winning honesty and connection to others, even when she must live in exile from them. Charlotte (Charlie to those who know her) values these qualities in Belle and grows in her life as a consequence of her admiration. Betty Shafer has used her own experience living with musicians to great advantage as she takes her readers along with Belle and Charlotte and the band that changes their lives.
