One stupid decision caused Hank Love and his family to have to leave town.
The trip out of town was not without drama, but they finally found a place where they could be comfortable and could work.
They were staying in Miss Opal’s rooming house where many people came and went. You will meet many interesting characters that stay there.
Hank, Evelyn, and little Lucille were comfortable there, but Evelyn missed her father and their home.
But they couldn’t go back because of Hank’s mistake and started singing at churches, but Lucille was the star and had a gift - a beautiful voice.
An agent approached Lucille's parents and made her famous, but will this life away from her parents change her?
Would her voice save her family or would her father’s decision from years ago catch up with them and ruin their lives after all this time?
The characters were well developed - I worried for Lillian and liked Evelyn since she was the most sensible. Some of the characters were "characters."
Even though the book got wordy at times, it was an interesting read about Lucille’s family’s worries, the travels and struggles of the singing troop, and this 1920s era.
I do have to say the ending was a bit corny, but still an entertaining, well-researched read. 4/5
Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
