From the Back Cover:

SHE EMBRACED FAME BUT FLED FROM LOVE...

Eighteen years ago, young Tess McPhail left tiny Wintergreen, Missouri, for Nashville and never looked back. Now one of country music’s biggest stars, ‘Mac’ McPhail’s career is her life and, at thirty five, she has no time for love or family – until her sisters insist she come home to help care for their widowed mother.

Mac is unprepared for her reception in Wintergreen. After almost two decades of public adoration, she is suddenly a non person – insulted by her jealous sister, enraged by her intractable mother, ignored by Kenny Kronek, the next door neighbour she taunted mercilessly all through high school. A handsome divorce who dotes on his teenage daughter, Casey, Kenny refuses to give Mac the time of day.

But Casey is a promising singer, and when Mac assumes the role of mentor, the feigned indifference between Mac and Kenny turns to playful bickering, then passion. It is only when Mac returns to Nashville that what seemed possible in Wintergreen starts to look like a naive fantasy. Is there room for caring and commitment in her glamorous – or is Mac destined always to be alone?

With over fifteen million copies of her works in print, LaVyrle Spencer is a top selling author world-wide. Her most recent successes include 'November of the Heart, Bygones, Family Blessings, Home Song 'and 'That Camden Summer'. She lives in Stillwater, Minnesota with her husband, Dan.
