Publisher's summary

In this heartfelt novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel, a young woman with an unforgettable voice fights for the freedom to pursue her dreams.

Iris Cooper has been singing ever since she can remember, hitting the high notes like no one else. At twelve, her father convinces the owner of a bar in Lake City, Texas, to let her perform, and she stuns the audience. In the ensuing years, never staying anywhere for long, they move from one dusty town to the next, her passion for music growing every time she takes the mike in another roadhouse.

But it is not an easy life with her father in charge and using her income to pay for gambling, women, and booze. When she signs on to tour at age eighteen, she resolves to take on a real manager. Yet he exploits her too, and the singers and musicians she tours with are really the only family she has. It is they who give Iris the courage to finally fly free, leave the tour, and follow her dreams.

After years of enduring the hardships of the road, exploitation, and abuse to do what she loves, her big chance comes as her talent soars. But at the top at last, Iris still has to fight every step of the way. In The High Notes, Danielle Steel delivers an inspiring story about finding the strength to stand up for yourself, and your dreams, no matter what it takes.

Great Book just one problem

This was a great book and I really enjoyed it except for one part. I am from Biloxi, Mississippi the city that is continually referenced in the story which was great however the narrator mispronounced “Biloxi” every time he mentioned it. It’s not BullOxE it’s pronounced “Ba lux e” and we are from the coast of Mississippi so we do NOT have the strong southern drawl of northern MS it’s closer to a New Orleans accent. Just wish they would have the narrator do a bit of research before he got started. It was a great book but threw me off each time I hear him say Biloxi or try to do the Biloxi accent.

Love this book!

The best book I’ve read in a while. I truly love Danielle Steele’s books they are so exciting!

Loved The High Notes

I had to battle with myself to stop listening once I started. Danielle Steele has been blessed with the ability to create stories and characters that pull heartstrings. This one is one of her best!

Singing at its Best

A great story about using your life experiences to build a life well spent. About overcoming adversity and successing at your life goals.

Lovely read!

I liked the story line with a few unexpected twists. Listened to it in one seating.

Fantastic

I truly enjoyed every chapter.
To every one that likes singers and stores of song writers should read this book.

Enjoyable Storyline

I enjoyed listening to this book. It’s a very simple listen and the narrator does a good job and often times I felt like I was listening to Casey Kasem which is quite ironic. I loved learning a little bit more about the music industry. This is the first book I’ve ever read that has this sort of a storyline so I’m really glad I read it. It was entertaining and moved along nicely. I enjoyed the characters as well.
