Backstage Pass

Seldom does a book come along that changes us fundamentally, like Backstage Pass. Jade Sheldon gives us insight into who we are and why we cannot get to the place we want to be. While on her first vacation to Hollywood California, Jade Sheldon manage to meet the world-famous Universal Madness band and recording artist Reed Dion. This first date on a windy California beach is the awakening of a whole new world for Jade. While their relationship appears on the outside to be one of a successful man taking advantage of a young, impressionable woman, in the end, Jade come away with more than she realized. Jade's story may be told from an African American point of view, but in the end, it is every woman's story. The language Lynn uses is unique and fascinating. She paints a picture that brings the characters to life in full three-dimensional color. Lynn never judges, she instead, lets her characters speak their mind no matter how skewed those thoughts might be. This story will make you laugh and cry feeling the truth that Lynn brings to the page, which is what makes a book a classic.
