Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author LaVyrle Spencer, "famous for her heartrending slices of Americana," is at her best in this sweet, small-town romance about a country music star discovering the true meaning of love . . .

Eighteen years ago, Tess McPhail left her tiny hometown of Wintergreen, Missouri, for the bright lights of Nashville and never looked back. Now, one of country music's biggest stars, "Mac" is a hardworking woman with little time for a personal life—until her sister insists she come home to help care for their widowed mother.

The welcome Mac receives is less than warm, especially from her former next-door neighbor Kenny Kronek. With a teenage daughter to raise, the handsome divorcé refuses to give Mac the time of day. But when Mac discovers that Kenny's daughter is a promising country talent, she begins mentoring the girl in the music of love—and opening her own hardened heart to a man who makes her soul sing . . .

About LaVyrle Spencer

LaVyrle Spencer is a contemporary and historical romance novelist who has written twelve New York Times bestsellers. Whether set in the Old West or in present day suburban Minnesota, a Spencer novel means seeing love in a new light and meeting characters so real it's all you can do not to climb into the pages yourself. Several of Spencer's books have been made into movies (Publishers Weekly called one of her television deals "precedent-setting") and in 1988 she was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame. She lives with her husband, Dan, in North Oaks, Minnesota.

3.5 to 4 stars for this older CR. I had read it before, years ago, but could hardy remember it. I've been rereading a few of LaVyrle Spencer's books in the last few months, and so far they do seem to stand the test of time fairly well. You do have to make allowances in this one for the nineties fash......more
