I grew up listening to the cross-over songs of country music and this book highlights all the greats-Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Charlie Rich, Everly Brothers. Great walk down memory lane!

This book was reviewed positively by the author of The Shack, one of my very favorite novels dealing with spirituality. Unfortunately, this does not match The Shack's power, but it does deliver a good message re: our need to be vulnerable to others and to rely on grace, not our own good intentions. It does not contain as much theology as The Shack and would probably be an easier read.

This is one of Debbie Macomber's earliest works, recently released by Harlequin. The story is sweet and rather predictable but contains what I view as the author's trademark--authentic characters, who are immediately likeable.

I read this book for my monthly book discussion group and I was the only one of 8 women who did NOT enjoy the book. It tells the story of a little girl who is in need of a heart transplant. It is clearly designed to tug the heartstrings and offers a Christian message of hope and redemption. I felt that the author manipulated the storyline and was heavy-handed in directing the reader how to feel rather than allowing the reader the courtesy of reacting as the story unfolded. If you like Richard North Patterson's and Nicholas Sparks' writings, you will probably enjoy this.
