β¦ Synopsis
In 2008, just as Laura Roppe was poised to burst onto the music scene, her doctor called her with news that left her spinning--she had been diagnosed with an extremely aggressive form of breast cancer. Just days earlier, she had signed a dream-come-true contract with a record label; now, she wasn't even sure how much longer she had to live.
