Stephanie Bloom is a forty-something single mom chasing a dream she nearly gave up on-to become a global pop star. Juggling three kids, nosy school mums, and the crumbling restaurant left by her late husband, Stephanie is barely keeping her Spanx-and her sanity-intact. But when a life-changing chance to record with The Most Famous Rapper In the World lands in her lap, she must choose: play it safe for her family, or risk it all to follow her dreams. This laugh-out-loud, feel-everything story about music, motherhood, and second chances isn't just a novel-it's a new kind of storytelling experience. For the first time in a fictional audiobook, How A Gangsta Rapper Made Me A Better Mom features a fully integrated original soundtrack. These aren't background tracks-each song is performed in scene by the characters. From Stephanie's pop anthems to her kids' punky riffs, Candice's sultry jazz to raw hip-hop bars, the music reflects each character's unique voice and style. It's immersive, emotional, and game-changing. Created, narrated, and performed by award-winning singer-songwriter and TV personality Stacey Jackson-alongside guest artists from around the globe-this is the first fictional audiobook of its kind, where story and soundtrack are one. Praise: "An inspiring path carved out with passion, determination, and heart... Stacey Jackson is fearless when it comes to life and embracing opportunity." - Rolling Stone UK "Balancing fame, family, and fearless ambition... proves it's never too late to chase your dreams." - OK! Magazine US "An inspiring debut celebrating transformation at any stage of life… a fictionalised but deeply authentic journey." - Elle Canada
