The lead singer of the most popular boy band in the world has a secret. A tabloid willing to tell all turns his world upside down. In Do You Know That I Love You, Ralph, a young gay teen living on a farm in Indiana, has an aching crush on a rock star and wants nothing more than to see his idol in concert. Meanwhile, Jordan, the rock star, is lonely and sometimes confused with his success, because all he wants is someone to love him and feels he will never find the love he craves. Do You Know is the story of two teenage boys, their lives, desires, loves, and a shared destiny that allows them both to find peace.
By: Mark A. Roeder
Publisher's Summary
Music is the love of Jordan’s life. At 13, he meets a teacher who not only shares that love and gives him private lessons, but introduces him to one of the greatest pianists in the world.
Jordan soon forms a band, which performs anywhere there is an audience and gets its first break when hired by Mystic Gardens, an amusement park in Indiana. From there, their careers take off, and they become the world-famous band Phantom.
Phantom Begins is the story of Jordan, Kieran, and Ross and their rise to fame, but it’s also the story of Jordan’s first love at 13, his concerns for his single mother, and the dedication of a middle school music teacher who sees his potential and gives his all to make it flourish.
