Small Town Girl

When a music superstar returns to her hometown, can she learn how to help those who need her the most?

Tess “Mac” McPhail is one of country music's brightest lights, a millionaire many times over, accustomed to public adoration and a life lived on her own terms. Now, eighteen years after she left her hometown, Mac's sisters insist she return to help care for their widowed mother. There Mac faces several rude awakenings—an insulting older sister, an intractable parent, and worst of all, the apparent total indifference of Kenny, the neighbor she taunted through high school and who is now a handsome divorcee.

When Mac discovers that Kenny's daughter, Casey, is a promising country-music talent, she becomes the girl's mentor. Their shared concern for Casey transforms Mac and Kenny's relationship. Can the once-pampered star finally learn to treasure family and community above the spotlight and millions of adoring fans?
