Overview
Filled with cautionary tales of fame and excess, regret and redemption, What Become A Legend Most creates a world where sex, violence, drugs, and death are commingled into a deadly cocktail that rock singer Cassie Hamilton finds hard to resist. Through Cassie’s revelations the reader is provided with a backstage pass to the real world of rock, where Cassie quickly learns that besides drugs and sex, nothing is free, and her insatiable appetite for fame is her ultimate downfall. Escaping a sexually abusive childhood, Cassie battles against sexism, drugs, violent relationships with rock’s most notorious bad boys, and self-doubt as she searches for the fame and respect she desperately craves. Cassie Hamilton is a rock musician trying to conquer her personal demons while fighting to climb the record charts.

Cassie finds, however, that fame does not come without a price, and that it is not a substitute for unconditional love and happiness. As Cassie struggles to prove to male rock musicians and the male-dominated music industry that she can hold her own, she finds herself caught up in the rock and roll lifestyle and learning to adjust to being a public figure whose misery, substance abuse, and bad relationships are splashed across the tabloids for the world to see.
