Rising country-rock star Cheryl Stanton’s forced return to her tiny Indiana hometown—at Thanksgiving time, no less—has her singing the blues. After her band’s hectic tour pace pushes both body and voice to the brink, much-needed rest trumps her vow never to return. Where better to escape the demands of fame than the place that knew her before she rocketed to stardom? Her plan to disappear into the Indiana cornfields works just fine until a fender-bender puts her in contact with high school crush Derrick Mullins, the one guy who never spared her a second glance—or so she thought.
Derrick looked, all right. However, with his plans to stay put in Langley and Cher’s to leave town right after graduation, he never saw the point in starting something she wouldn’t stick around to finish. Older and wiser now, the paramedic lives for the present instead of a future he may not survive to see. He wastes not a second letting Cher know he’s interested and soon they’re making up for lost time. Still, the problem remains: She doesn't want to stay in Langley and Derrick can't bring himself to leave.
Home for the Holidays (A Willow's Grove Novella) Reviews
-
This little romp to Willow's Grove is the perfect read for the holidays or any time. Short, sweet and punctuated with Ms. Hittle's trademark wit, it's the perfect length for a quick getaway when you can't handle another minute of the holiday rush. I enjoyed Ms. Hittle's debut, Diva in the Dugout, and was anxious to read this novella. Cher and Derrick's story is a sweet and sassy reunion ten years after a strained parting of the ways at their high school graduation. I especially enjoyed that Cher is still very much down-to-earth even after achieving celebrity status. You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl--isn't that how the saying goes? Well, in Home for the Holidays, it is nothing but the truth.
Grab a latte or a hot toddy and relax with Home for the Holidays. You won't be disappointed.
