This is a story about a girl named Glory McCoy, an aspiring singer with the voice of an angel, and her journey to becoming the best singer and songwriter in the world. During a talent show that Glory was watching, she meets a talent scout named Sonny who introduces her to one of the top producers in the world. Soon after, her career takes off, and she's at the top of the list of most in-demand singers in the world for her voice and the songs that she writes. She makes Sonny her manager and then goes and buys mansions for her mother and herself and moves her two best friends-Trina and Tiana (Ti)-in with her. All is going well until Glory makes one bad decision that almost costs Glory her life. She gets paralyzed and loses her angelic singing voice, but she could never in her wildest dreams imagine the things she finds out after her accident, like where her gift came from, and now that has her wondering who Sonny is.
