The Sweet By and By by Sara Evans, Rachel Hauck

The Sweet By and By (Songbird Novel, #1) (Songbird Novels, #1)

by Sara Evans and Rachel Hauck

"Enchanting." —Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author

The first book in the Songbird series from country music star Sara Evans and New York Times bestseller Rachel Hauck!

It begins with a little red envelope . . . the one Jade doesn't want to send. The envelope that invites her mother, Beryl, to her wedding—and opens up more of her past than she cares to deal with. Jade has worked so hard to put her hard-scrabble childhood behind her.

And she's found everything she wanted in the beautiful green hills of Whisper Hollow, Tennessee. A thriving vintage shop all her own. A lovely one-eyed shepherd dog named Roscoe. And Max, the almost-too-good-to-be-true man she plans to marry in just a few weeks. For the first time in her life, her heart feels at home, and she can't wait to step out into their beautiful future.

But can she really have a sweet by and by if she can't come to terms with yesterday?

Rachel Hauck is a favorite author and I absolutely love her [b:Sweet Caroline|2288199|Sweet Caroline|Rachel Hauck|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51pttUuNC%2BL._SL75_.jpg|2294406] and [b:Love Starts with Elle|2288200|Love Starts with Elle |Rachel Hauck|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51pOF6DfMmL._SL75_.jpg|2294407], however this book I do not love. I like this book and it is interesting and entertaining, but it is not quite my cup of tea. I could not really relate to the characters personally and it made it hard for me to enjoy it. I could easily see this story being a Hallmark film and would definitely watch it and encourage others to do so as well, it is just not a favorite.
