Lurlene Lumpkin had never had an easy life, her mother passed away during child birth and her daddy abandoned her when she was three, she had gotten everything that she had completely on her own, no relatives to speak of. Oh but she knew she wanted to sing, to somehow take away people's pain just for a few minutes with her honey soaked voice, she was going make something of herself someday, and she was going to make sure the whole world knew it.

Today was her 20th birthday, not that she expected anything, why start now? She had recently gotten a job singing at a seedy bar but she needed money so what was the difference. She took the stage her smile big as ever, she figured the bigger she smiled then people couldn't see who she really was, a scared little girl who needed love. After the show, she met up with one Homer J Simpson, she took his praise with her usual modesty and it seemed like that was the end of it. Little did she know that this man would change her life forever.
