Anna was fourteen when she met David. Twenty-nine when she finally let him go.

One girl growing up in the loud, beautiful chaos of the early 2000s punk rock scene, chasing music, chasing him, chasing the version of herself she thought she was supposed to be.

David turned every lyric into a promise. Anna believed every one of them. But love at fourteen isn't love at twenty-nine, and somewhere between garage rehearsals and festival stages, between first kisses and farewell emails, she had to learn the difference between being someone's muse and being her own.

What We Left on Stage is Daisy Jones & the Six meets Gilmore Girls, an emotional, music-soaked coming-of-age novel about first love, growing up, and the songs that mark us forever.
