The year is 2005. The Sugar Daddies are Chicago's loudest all-girl punk band. But offstage, keyboardist Dani Wonder is achingly insecure. She's about to ditch the band when a strange phone call informs her that enigmatic singer Charleigh Hartbrake has been kidnapped. Freaked out but determined to rescue their wildchild frontwoman, Dani and drummer Sam Starr cross Illinois in a smelly Ford Festiva, dodging weirdo exes and tween superfans along the way. But after a righteous small-town cop detains the girls for driving a stolen vehicle, Dani must complete the rescue mission flying solo in little else but her absentee dad's '80's jean jacket.

​

A campy road trip novel packed with humor and beating with a tender heart, The Secret Sugar Daddies is for anyone who's experienced the euphoria of a new friendship, or the despair of not fitting in. In other words, all of us.
