Leah Johnson's Rise to the Sun is an ode to the healing power of music and love. Set against the backdrop of a music festival, the story follows Olivia, who is desperately trying to escape for one magical weekend before her senior year starts, and Toni, who is following in her late father's footsteps in hopes of processing her grief. Soon, these two young women realise they're in a unique position to help each other process the traumas of the past, and maybe even find the strength to forge a fresh start for themselves, too.
