Charm City Rocks: A Love Story -- Matthew Norman

<b>When a single dad meets the former rock-star crush of his youth, everything they thought they knew about happiness and love is thrown into chaos in this hopeful, heartwarming romantic comedy.</b> <p/><b>"Bound to charm readers from page one . . . You'll root for everyone in this sweet love story."--Elissa Sussman, bestselling author of <i>Funny You Should Ask</i></b> <p/>Billy Perkins is happy. And why wouldn't he be? He loves his job as an independent music teacher and his apartment in Baltimore above a record shop called Charm City Rocks. Most of all, he loves his brainy teenage son, Caleb. <p/>Margot Hammer, on the other hand, is far from happy. The former drummer of the once-famous band Burnt Flowers, she's now a rock-and-roll recluse living alone in New York City. When a new music documentary puts Margot back in the spotlight, she realizes how much she misses her old band and the music that gave her life meaning. <p/>Billy has always had a crush on Margot. But she's a legitimate rock star--or, at least, she was--so he never thought he'd meet her. Until Caleb, worried that his easygoing dad might actually be lonely, cooks up a scheme to get Margot to perform at Charm City Rocks. <p/>It's the longest of long shots, but Margot's label has made it clear that <i>any</i> publicity is an opportunity she can't afford to miss. When their paths collide, Billy realizes that he maybe wasn't as happy as he thought--and Margot learns that sometimes the sweetest music is a duet.<br
