This is a well crafted story and I absolutely enjoyed reading it from start to finish. It's an absorbing and attention-grabbing work that had me engaged from the beginning. The story flows from scene to scene effortlessly, and the author shows exceptional ability when it comes to storytelling.The story had every element a good story should have. An exciting plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development. This interesting and compelling work, as I said, had my attention from the beginning. There are twists and turns in this page turner that will take the reader on an intriguing journey. Also, the writing style is straightforward which makes for an enjoyable read.A physically and emotionally abused teenage girl from the foothills of North Carolina embarks on a journey that takes her to Nashville, to escape the crushing tyranny of an alcoholic mother. Thanks to the compassion and kindness of a stranger, she finds employment and solace in a local café. When she meets a regular at the café, Trent Shepard, their lives will never be the same again; rising to incredible prestige in the music industry, earning her the title of Queen of Music City.Three decades later, two young detectives arrive in Nashville with a similar cruel past as her own, trying to start a new life. To their astonishment, one of their first clients is none other than the Queen of Music City herself. Now, one of Americas most long standing mega stars is placing her past in their hands. Can they solve the mystery of the generous stranger who changed her life all those years ago? Of course, I can't say. This is a mystery you must unravel for yourself!It's one of those stories that come along once in a while that makes you want to read it non-stop until you get to the end. The author has the ability to entice the reader to want to know more as the story progresses. And, this is a skill that is possessed only by a few. I'm giving nothing further away here. And this, I hope, will only add to the mystery! However, I will say this; it's one of the most imaginative and well written books I've read in a while.You can't do wrong with this one - I'd highly recommend it!
