The true story of Butterfish

About this book

Curtis is no longer a rock star. His dad is dead, his wife has left him, he's purchased a house in Kenmore online and his advertising executive gay brother is giving him lectures on family values. With his chart-topping band, Butterfish, Curtis Holland lived the clichéd rock star dream. Then Annaliese Winter walks down Curtis Holland's front path. He's ill-prepared for a sixteen-year-old schoolgirl who sings like a lark and is a confounding cocktail of adult and child. So when Curtis receives an invitation to dinner from Annaliese's mother, Kate, he is surprised when he not only accepts but after an evening of burnt casserole and home truths he finds himself being drawn to this remarkably unremarkable family.
