Singing All the Way Up
Work detail
Laura doesn’t remember the night aliens kidnapped her. But her parents do. They swear her haunting song echoed across three counties as she floated into an alien craft. While the world mocks her as a crackpot, her father sees an opportunity—and a fortune. Thrust into the spotlight, Laura becomes the darling of UFO conventions, singing her “otherworldly” song and spinning tales of alien abduction for sold-out crowds. But when the novelty fades and the crowds thin, her mother makes a chilling choice: to sell her to a traveling freak show that thrives on exploiting its performers’ misery. Among the bizarre and grotesque, Laura begins piecing together fragments of her past. Was she really abducted by aliens, or is her story a carefully constructed lie? As the truth emerges, Laura must fight to reclaim her life before she’s consumed by the very forces that made her famous.
