Strung Together - by Kasha Thompson (Paperback)

About the Book

For a Harlem girl who grew up on public access puppet shows, landing a spot on Jellybean Junction was everything... until Rustin Hayes showed up.

Book Synopsis

She built her world stitch by stitch. He walked in and pulled a thread.

Letitia Vincent is a puppeteer who has spent the last three years pouring her heart into Jellybean Junction, a beloved but struggling children's show barely clinging to public funding. She is quirky, creative, and fiercely protective of the show's mission, Letitia is used to juggling multiple puppets and putting out behind the scene fires, until Rustin Hayes joins the team.

Rustin is a newly hired producer and puppeteer with a sharp mind and frustratingly magnetic presence. Rustin has big ideas for modernizing the show ... and no patience for playing it safe. The two clash over everything from production style to funding strategy, but their on-screen chemistry is undeniable, even if their off-screen banter constantly teeters between flirty and infuriating.

As viewership dwindles and the network threatens cancellation Letitia and Rustin must put their differences (and feelings) aside to save the show. But the more time they spend working together, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull behind their creative sparks. Can two passionate performers with clashing visions find common ground before the curtain falls, for good.
