The Darling Songbirds - Rachael Herron

AVAILABLE NOW!

Overview:

Book 1 in the Songbird Trilogy – A sparkling, highly entertaining romantic comedy about a beloved country girl group, from the bestselling author of Pack Up the Moon:

Adele, Molly and Lana are The Darling Songbirds, the country-singing sisters who gained fame in their teens for their smart lyrics and sweet harmonies. But when their father died suddenly on the eve of their big tour, the threesome shattered.

Now, eleven years later, Adele arrives back in Darling Bay, the sleepy gold-rush town founded by her great-grandfather. Uncle Hugh has left to the sisters the Golden Spike, an old country saloon.

Except this is not the welcoming saloon Adele remembers from her childhood. The building is a ruin, the business is broke and customers are scarce. Add into the mix Nate Houston – the handsome, guitar-playing bartender who had always believed he would be the next owner – and Adele has one potent cocktail on her hands.

She needs her sisters Molly and Lana now more than ever – but the heartache still runs deep. Can a rundown saloon in a sleepy town finally offer the sisters a way back home, and for Adele, a way into love?

Praise for Rachael Herron’s other work:

“While the journey these women must face together is heartbreaking, their story is ultimately uplifting: a poignant, profound ode to the enduring and redemptive power of love.”

– Library Journal

“With this profoundly moving, compelling tale of a woman who is on the verge of losing everything, Rachael Herron will break your heart and then mend it again, leaving you stronger than before. Reading Splinters of Light is a bit like watching a trapeze artist dance nimbly across a high wire: you’re left gasping in wonder at her grace and daring. And, when the artist makes it safely to the other side, you cheer and want to see her do it all over again.”

-Holly Robinson, author of Beach Plum Island

“Beautifully written and heartbreakingly real, Splinters of Light is a compelling examination of how the bonds between women—sisters, mothers, daughters—are tested by tragedy. The Glass family women will have you smiling in recognition and then grieving, laughing and (consider yourself warned) sobbing along with them right up to the heartfelt ending.”

-L. Alison Heller, author of The Never Never Sisters
