5.0 out of 5 stars Heart-warming & Nostalgic!! A Very Good Read!, March 24, 1998

nbarnes@bankofny.com (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Small Town Girl (Mass Market Paperback)

This should definetely be rated among Ms. Spencer's best. The main character (Tess McPhail) was portrayed as fresh & funky country music superstar that is forced to take time out from her very busy schedule to go back home and take care of her ailing mother. What she bargained for is a boring stay in the too-small town and painful reminders of her less than grand past. Tess eventually becomes entangled in a heart-warming adventure into the many stages of love and gains the wisdom to realize that there is much, much more to be gained in the giving then she ever thought she'd lose. Country music fans will adore this glimpse into the life of a star. Especially delightful are the backstage views of Nashville and the lonely road to stardom. This is a story that will leave you wanting more, as every LaVyrle Spencer novel does.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small Town Girl, October 17, 2006

Avery L. Whitley "PinkAvery" (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Small Town Girl (Audio Cassette)

I started reading LaVyrle Spencers books by accident. There were some books being given away in the break room at work and I thought the book was 'The Blessing' rather it was 'Family Blessings'. I WAS HOOKED!!! I finished this book ('Small Town Girl') last night and it was WONDERFUL!! I was sucked in and could not stop reading!! I was rooting for Tess and Kenny and wanted Faith to bow out gracefully!! If you like Country Music, Romance, and Family....you'll love this book!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, feel-good read!, April 22, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Small Town Girl (Mass Market Paperback)

I really recommend this book! It has everything a good girl book should have....love, childhood memories, fame, parts that make you laugh, parts that make you cry, parts that make you say "awww" and of course a happy ending.
