He lives in the spotlight, she hides in the background. Turns out love doesn’t care where you’re standing.
About What Happened at the Festival
Hannah Fair, a high school English teacher in a small Montana town, has perfected the art of disappearing. She prefers quiet routines, familiar people, and the safety of staying unnoticed.
Which is why kissing a country singer onstage in front of thousands defies every rule she lives by. It’s risk. Spotlight. Exposure she would never allow herself.
Until Ledger West.
With his warm hand in hers and festival lights blazing down, Hannah finds herself swept from hiding into blinding visibility…and saying yes.
By dawn, the video has exploded. Millions have watched her most private moment, transforming anonymity into instant infamy. Now the internet knows her name and has opinions about her.
And the man she kissed is no stranger with a guitar. Ledger West is about to become one of country music’s biggest stars, and suddenly Hannah is caught in the orbit of someone the whole world is watching.
She tells herself it was one reckless moment. But Ledger keeps calling, and beneath the fame is someone thoughtful, someone who sees through every wall she’s spent years building. He makes her feel visible in ways that are equal parts terrifying and impossible to resist.
The more time Hannah spends with Ledger, the smaller her old life feels. But loving someone meant for the spotlight may cost her the very thing that’s always kept her safe: the ability to disappear.
My Story
Hi, I’m Brigetta, author of Her Nowhere and the soon-to-be-released About What Happened At The Festival and Where Promises Break. I write stories about the strength it takes to start over, the bonds that hold families together, and the quiet beauty of small-town life.
My work has appeared in Mamalode and Grown & Flown, and I was lucky to be part of the original mom-blog wave back in the early 2000s, when we were all just figuring out how to tell our stories online.
I live in the breathtaking state of Montana with my husband of 30 years, our four amazing sons, two wonderful daughters-in-law (yay, girls!), a loyal dog, and one remarkably resilient turtle.

That is, until one simple moment changes her family forever. Unable to bear the presence of her once adored husband, she abandons her life and finds “her nowhere” a small organic farm on the Southern tip of Sweden. There, she tills the soil, plants seeds, learns to pickle cucumbers, and fights her attraction to a younger man. Her unlikely friendships with two unique women awaken her to suffering other than her own and help her face her part in the tragedy. She returns home to find her husband has found his own nowhere and must fight for whatever love remains in the gaps of their shattered family. Her Nowhere is a tearjerker about relationships and what they can survive—if we let them.
