Brief Summary

Do you love the great girl groups of the early '60s--those "bad girls" with their wild hairdos and passionate songs of love and its obstacles? Want to know what their lives were really like? Come Meet the Annas. Meet lead singer Anna Dubower, "the haunted-eyed, raven-haired incarnation of the true church of rock 'n' roll," and the men who loved her. It's a novel of deep mystery, fabulous music, enduring passion, and a compelling cold case crime. Kick back, spin a few discs, and let the magic of the Annas' story sweep you away.
