From the inside cover: She's named after a landform. She learned to walk on the red carpet. And now shes playing hostess to the Nation's hottest pop star.

Desert McGraw hasn't exactly had a normal upbringing. Her dad fronts the popular rock band Crossfire, and her mom is the group's manager. Always on tour, or sitting in on recording sessions, Desert leads a life that looks glamorous to most people.

But now that she's sixteen and living in yet another new town-Miami, this time-Desert is more than ready to call one place home. There's one problem though: How do you know whom to trust-let alone what guy to hook up with-when all anyone wants is access to the band.

Funny, romantic, and filled with essential rock-star etiquette (the proper attire for cruising in a Jag convertible, how to introduce new friends to your leather wearing dad, etc.)

Backstage Pass is a look at what happens when real life meets every girl's dream.
