Blurb:
Country music singer/songwriter Raelynn Rivers
is a has-been. According to the latest gossip magazines, that is. Her last
number-one hit was six years ago, and her songwriting ability has vanished. Her
foundering career is all she has left, and she’s determined to once again hold
the title of “Country Music Queen.” But Raelynn’s dreams are derailed when a
coal mine collapses in her home town of Eve Hollow, West Virginia, trapping her
daddy and brother inside.
The man in charge of the mine rescue is Lane Ryan, her childhood best friend
and the former fiancé she abandoned twelve years ago for her career. In the
snow-covered mountains of Appalachia, Raelynn reconnects with family and
rediscovers her musical abilities—and her faith. And no one inspires her more
than Lane. She’s finally ready for a relationship, but the secret Lane carries
around is as big as Coal Mountain.
Will Raelynn sacrifice her title, or say goodbye to Lane forever?
Interview
with Candice Sue Patterson
My family celebrates Christmas the way most
people do with a decorated tree, lots of Christmas movies and music, baked
goodies, get-togethers, and gift exchanges. We stress to the kids that
Christmas is NOT about the presents but about the ultimate gift—God sending His
son, Jesus, to earth to die for our sins. We read aloud from the Bible the
birth of Christ before any presents are opened on Christmas morning.
With all the hustle and bustle of the
holidays, it’s easy to forget the reason for the season. But that night in the
stable long ago is our heritage, our roots, and we mustn’t forget. In my newest
release Silver White Winters, country
music singer and songwriter Raelynn Rivers has strayed from her heritage, her true legacy, but when tragedy strikes,
she returns home to discover that fame might not be a treasure worth fighting
for.
