Afterglow

Afterglow is the story of how Frank Columbo, a nineteen-year-old apprentice sheetrock hanger from Hoboken, New Jersey, became, briefly and incandescently, the pop-music superstar Frankie Valentine, and then became Frank Columbo again. It is also the story of how sixteen-year-old Katie Anderson of Des Moines, Iowa, became caught up in Frankie's fame. And, finally, It is a love story, although it might not at first seem so.
