Mara Sykes (The Silent Songbird)

She has the voice of a star. If only she could face the crowd. Mara Sykes. Your best friend since you were both tiny. She's always been good. Her voice is captivating, and she can play an instrument better than most people can walk, but she's never sung for more than a handful of people. Because the moments those lights hit her she freezes. Now, after years of hiding in the background, Mara’s been given a shot at something real. A stage. A crowd. A chance to finally be heard. But when the moment arrives, so do the doubts. And all she asks is one thing. That you be there. Not on stage, but out there where she can see you.
