Flaptekst van de roman van Stereophonics drummer Jamie Morrison
From the moment Andrew ‘Pop’ Morrison, a.k.a Wonderboy, heard the mesmerising beats of a drumkit through a classroom window, he knew he was born to be a drummer.
When Pop and his band hit the big-time, they find themselves on a one-way path to stardom. Enjoying the wild ride, the whole world is soon at his fingertips – and it’s addictive. But when his partying lifestyle takes a dramatic downward turn, he is forced out of his comfort zone and back to square one.
Stuck in limbo, the only thing that comforts him is Drewford Alabama’s personal diary, which he discovered in the torn silk lining of a thrifted suitcase, one fateful night in a New York hotel suite. Finding Drewford becomes an obsession and a path back to normality. But with only a name and mysterious messages on an empty page, will he ever find him?
