Only the Good Die Young
A teenage girl classically trained as a pianist adopts the free spirit of a rock and roll guitarist to rid herself of her mother's rigid upbringing — but her new personality lands a fellow student in jail and herself at the center of a scandal that threatens to destroy her family.
Only the Good Die Young is a coming-of-age story for the struggling teenager in all of us, laced with the dry, deadpan humor of a shy girl struggling to find her way.
