More than just a book about her son's life, Connie tells a heartfelt story of perseverance, dedication to music, LGBTQ+ acceptance, and supportive parenting.\u003cbr\u003eConnie mixes personal experiences about raising Scott and his two siblings with an account of his life--from Scott's childhood in Texas and coming out in high school to meteoric rise to fame with Pentatonix and, finally, married life. As a child, Scott was a musical prodigy. Connie shares what influenced him as a kid, his early musical successes and failures, and the ways she fostered a creative environment along with hard-won lessons as a mother of three. She candidly recounts Scott's coming out process in high school, including her initial mistakes and concerns along the way but also her journey to understanding and allyship. She details the unlikely formation and explosion of Pentatonix--from their start on The Sing-Off and initial setbacks to incredible success--as well as Scott's solo work and the duo act Superfruit with Mitch Grassi.\u003cbr\u003eConnie concludes with a reflection on the wonderful, authentic life Scott and his husband Mark Manio have created for themselves and the support \u0026amp; choices that led up to that moment. Along with a foreword by Scott, the book also includes a QR code to an original, previously unreleased song \"Pray\" which covers themes related to Scott's coming out story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Connie Hoying\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.66h x 5.51w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798881804930","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43945312452745,"sku":"9798881804930","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_c1cc7765-242e-4de5-a0a1-9eded6eb6c5a.jpg?v=1745909475","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-untold-story-of-scott-hoying-pentatonix-star-my-sons-journey-to-find-harmony-in-music-and-life-9798881804930","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
