So Bri pours her anger and frustration into her first song, which goes viral .
Believe in Your Dream

However, her mother who has still to accept Bri's father's death cannot accept the path her daughter wants to walk on. As a black girl, especially with a former addict mother and in a poverty-stricken neighborhood , she fears Bri will only attract those who killed her father.
Written in a funny, down-to-earth yet heartbreaking way, On the Come Up is a bowl of fresh air in the young-adults literature.
