Shout Down the Moon
2 journalers for this copy...
One of the best books I have read this year, I loved Tuckers first novel The Song Reader and I think I liked this one even better.. It was touching and sweet and just so, so good..
The characters make this book what it is, they are so complex and well drawn.
From the back cover:
Patty Taylor can hande anything. So what if the guys in her band dismiss her as just a pretty face, hired by their manager to make them more popular? She already survived a bad childhood, a destructive teenage relationship, homelessness, and working twelve hour shifts as a dishwasher. Traveling with the band gives her a way to provide for her two year old son Willie who she adores.
But on a hot summer day in Kentucky when Willie's father shows up in her hotel room, newly paroled from prison and intent on having her and his son back, Patty begins a journey that will change her from a firl who can put up with anything to a woman with a voice that can bring the house down. Shout Down the Moon is about following dreams and overcoming obstacles, about finding you voice and becoming the hero of your own life. In Patty Taylor, Lisa Tucker has created an unlikely heroine, a gutsy girl with a wry sense of humor, whose life will depend on having the courage to trust in her big talent and even bigger heart..
