My rating is 3.5 stars
I really liked Buck. Though he was a famous country music star, he was down-to-earth and didn't seek attention. He loved his family and his hometown. His persistence in wooing Jojo was sweet!
Poor Jojo had been hurt and lived a life of fear. She expected bad things and was determined that she would never fall in love or get married. Everyone in her town loved and respected her, and she loved and respected them.
I enjoyed reading about the process of songwriting, especially as it involved collaboration between Buck and his mother.
The relationship between Buck and Jojo was fun to watch, and the way he attempted to win her heart was lovely. There were some faith elements here that were great but instead of showing that Jojo's healing and learning to trust came from the Lord, it was clearly attributed to an object – though there was an attempt to insinuate the object had been given that power from the Lord.
