Emergency Lullabies

By Madeline Nixon

The music died with her sister . . . What will it take to make it come back?

Magnolia Callas hasn't set foot on stage since she dropped out of the performance program. She and her sister Iris believed she could be the next big singer-songwriter, just like Taylor Swift. But the dream died the moment her sister's heart stopped beating.

Now, two years later, Magnolia feels trapped under the assumption that she'll take care of Iris's daughter Poppy. With her dreams dashed and the music lost, Magnolia floats through life, unsure of her next move. When Theo Hennessy, the boy everyone loved in high school, meet cutes his way into Magnolia's life, colours, music, and lyrics seep through her grief. Theo is the sweetest girl dad, who looks great in a paramedic uniform, and has amazing arms, a heart of gold, and a wingman in the shape of a giant, fluffy Bernese mountain dog. It's impossible not to fall for him. He sparks a second chance at life for Magnolia; one she didn't expect. One that leaves her questioning what it is she truly wants and whether it's the same thing Iris wanted.
