BLURB
Rachel Cullen grew up in Scotland with a
fiddle in her hand from the age of four. She couldn't imagine life as anything
but a musician. When her husband brought her to America she was immediately
embraced by the Celtic and Bluegrass communities. But after her divorce,
Rachel's life is a mess.
A year of trying to prove to herself that
she's woman enough for any man, and then a vicious rape while on tour with the
band, leaves Rachel reeling. When she meets Noel Kershaw, an English teacher
who is poetry in motion, she is definitely attracted. But he has a young child
and he's suffering from his own divorce. The last thing Rachel needs in life is
more baggage.
First, Rachel must reconcile who she is, what
she wants, and how to get there. Maybe then she'll know how to be a part of the
family she's always wanted.

Excerpt
Claire crawled onto a stool on the
other side of the island and smiled.
Neither of them talked for several minutes as they listened to the water
in the pot heat.
“When I grow up, I’m going to play
with Sweetwater Canyon all the time.”
“Are you sure you want to hang out
with all us old folks?”
“You’re not all old. Well maybe a
little old. But Kat isn’t old.”
Rachel smiled. “That’s true. She’s
only seventeen.” And going on twenty-five it seemed sometimes.
“Oh, seventeen? That is old.” Claire
put a finger to her lips and furrowed her brow. “How old do I have to be to
play in the band all the time?”
“Probably at least eighteen.”
“But, you just said Kat—”
“Kat is different, because her
mother plays in the band and can watch her all the time.”
“Well, you can watch me all the
time. You can be my mother.”
Rachel gulped.
“Well, can’t you?”
“Can’t she what?” Noel walked in the
room and lifted Claire off the chair in a big hug, swinging her around the
room. “Can’t she what? She can do anything she wants.”
“See,” Claire leaned forward and
looked at Rachel over Noel’s shoulder. “See, even Daddy thinks you can be my
mother.”
“Whoa.” Noel set Claire back on the
stool. “I’m not sure what I walked in on here.” He sent an accusing glance to
Rachel. “You already have a mother, Claire.”
“I know. Not my real mother. My
second mother. You know, like my friend, Megan. Her mommy and daddy got
divorced and her daddy married a new mommy. So, Megan has two mommies now. See?
Rachel can be my second mommy. Okay?”

LaVerne, Thank you very much for hosting this stop on the Book Blast tour. I have to tell you right off the bat that I LOVE your name. It is also my mother's name and I haven't ever met another woman with that name.
ReplyDeleteBeckey, I'm glad the book sounds interesting to you. It certainly has a special place in my heart as it is the second book in the series. Speaking of series, I'd love to hear from you and other readers of this blog why they buy series books. I know, for me, it's because I don't want to let the characters go once I'm invested in their lives. Is there anything in a series book that absolutely drives you crazy when you see it?
Sounds like a great read.
