But should you upend your life for a scavenger hunt designed by one?Seventeen-year-old aspiring journalist Darren Purchase has been a lifelong fan of country music legend Decklee Cassel, who's as famous for her classic hits as she is for her partnership with songwriter Mickenlee Hooper. The same Mickenlee who mysteriously backed out of the limelight at the height of their careers, never to be heard from again.Now, Decklee's televised funeral marks the unveiling of her long-awaited final album. But when the container is revealed to be empty, a long trail of scavenger hunt clues unfolds, leading to a whopping cash prize for whoever finds the real thing.

Even if it means a spontaneous road trip with her annoying co-worker, Kendall.Flashback to 1963, where a young, runaway Decklee has her sights set on fame and glory.

What else will she sacrifice to hold on to her dreams?Told in alternating perspectives, Every Time You Hear That Song is a queer coming-of-age story celebrating country music, complicated women, and living authentically.
