by Joy Callaway (Author)
A small town girl turned big city businesswoman returns home to help her parents, only to find her heart being tugged between her old flame and the town's mysterious new guy.
This witty and effervescent novel is perfect for readers of Viola Shipman and fans of Sweet Magnolias and Hart of Dixie. Event planner Hattie Norwood only came back home to Mountain View, South Carolina to support her parents as they receive word that the family peanut farm is infertile. This news doesn't come as a surprise to Hattie, and she plans to return to Charlotte at the weekend's end. But then the town councilwoman begs Hattie to use her event-planning prowess to help Mountain View put on a musical benefit to stop the construction of the new Carolina Panthers stadium--a project Hattie is actually in favor of, much to the dismay of the locals--and she finds herself agreeing to stay until the town's Founder's Day celebration a week later, just as her old flame, former MLB standout Lee Lockhardt, materializes in town after a career-ending injury. When the hunky and mysterious new owner of Fox's Hardware, Fox Ryan, suggests the Founder's Day celebration be moved to the Norwoods' barn in an attempt to reinvent the failing farm as a music and event venue, Hattie agrees, unaware this move will thrust the town, her love life, and the brewing tension over the stadium into a very public spotlight. Fans of small-town romance and quirky casts of characters will be rooting for Team Lee or Team Fox as Hattie decides if love, like most music, is meant to fade or last forever.Author Biography
