FLARE of DOUBT

Can she make the change without changing her tune?

Katie, the Hardy family’s musical “Baby Girl,” can’t wait to escape her rural roots and return to her college life in the city. A promising piano major, her exciting plan shatters when her best friend bails, leaving her with a crippling lease and a deep sense of betrayal. Cut loose from all she belongs to, Katie’s dream of independence turns into a nightmare of isolation and doubt, making her question everything, especially her faith. 

Two opposing worlds tug at her. On one side, there’s David Fawcett, a gifted musician whose intelligent beliefs and easy-going charm offer a familiar melody, but who poses uncomfortable questions. On the other is Charlie, the affirming new friend who introduces her to a vibrant LGBTQIA+ community where Katie’s questions are celebrated instead of judged. Enfolded by this new tribe, Katie finds a new identity and a new name—Kit—putting her on a collision course with her family and her past. Can she find her true voice without losing herself completely?
