Stacey Jackson, Ruth Elkins

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.
