"The Miseducation of Josh Frank ," is a great insight into the artistic process--the hard work involved and the sacrifices made.

The writing is clean and conversational and and the organic use of music is great. This story also peripherally addresses the universal teenage experience.

This could work in many contexts: sibling relationships, being a musician, teenage living. Also consider using this if you happen to have a ten minute gap somewhere because it's a good, strong story.
