was not what I expected at all. I was figuring it would be some mushy-gushy romance. Instead, I was moved to tears with a sweet story of a young woman trying to find herself and hang on to God & her dignity through the influences of the 70's. I have enjoyed getting to know Elaine Littau. She is a fun woman of God with a deep, resounding Faith. Her humor is contagious and her heart sincere. I love her Westerns, but her contemporary novels are gems too. Six Miles From Nashville |
Bill and Betty Wall's popularity in the Country Music Scene is growing. Looking from the outside-in everything about her life seems perfect. Being a newlywed is nothing like she imagined and worry about Joey, her brother who is MIA from the Vietnam War, keeps her up at night.
Betty's parents had tried everything they could think of to get information about him only to find that he was released from a POW camp and sent to the USA. Where could he be? Why didn't he come home to Oklahoma?
After receiving a letter from a private investigator in regards to the child she put up for adoption over two years ago, Betty's life was further complicated. Her hopes were high that she might be able to mother the child she gave away only to be faced with court appearances and setbacks that stretched her faith in God to the limit.
