Now one of country music's brightest lights, "Mac" McPhail is a millionaire many times over. Her career is her life. At thirty-five, Mac has no time for marriage, children, or kinfolk - until her sisters insist she come home to help care for thier widowed mother...Mac isnt thrilled about spending a month in wintergreen. But her visit home turns out to be far from dull. After almost two decades of public adoration, she is suddenly a nonperson - insulted by her jealous older sister, enraged by her intractable mother, and ignored by Kenny Kroneck, the next-door neighbor she mercilessly taunted all through high school. Now a handsome divorce who dotes on his teenage daughter, Kenny is widely respected in the community - and refuses to give Mac the time of day. But once she discovers that Kenny;s daugter is a promising country music talent, Mac assumes the role of mentor - and everything changes.... no creases on spine. Book in overall good condition.
