Nikki Magee

Nikki is an orphan, age 11. She's a musical prodigy, with a voice. Her story begins when she is thrown from an uncaring dark world into the morning light of her life, soon finding herself protected by a guardian in the form of a mob boss and his family.
Nikki Magee is a relatively fast paced novella suitable for adults and teens. As one reviewer says, "Think: Cinderella without the midnight deadline." There's a cast of characters involved in the journey she must take.
Nikki's story is one of music. From Chopin to Joe Cocker, Nikki's wish is to play, and play she does. She has a dream, and at age 15 she goes to her first rock concert where Fate is going to intervene, on a massive scale.
