.Laura Trentham, the author
of The Military Wife, is back with an emotionally charged novel about
redemption and second chances. In the vein of Josie Silver’s One Day in December, AN
EVERYDAY HERO (St. Martin’s Griffin, February 4, 2020, $16.99), explores the challenges of a relationship and
ultimately discovering that love…and joy is worth fighting for.
At thirty, Greer Hadley never expected to be forced home to
Madison, Tennessee with her life and dreams of being a songwriter up in flames.
To make matters worse, a series of bad decisions and even crappier luck lands
her community service hours at a nonprofit organization that aids veterans and
their families. Greer cannot fathom how she’s supposed to use music to help
anyone deal with their trauma and loss when the one thing that brought her joy
has failed her.
Then there's Emmett Lawson, the golden boy who followed his
family’s legacy. Greer shows up one day with his old guitar, and meets Emmett’s
rage head on with her stubbornness. A dire situation pushes these two into a
team to save a young teenager, but maybe they will save themselves too. . .
MY REVIEW:
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Greer is a singer/songwriter and couldn't make it in the big time so she came back home to Tennessee and moved in with her parents. She ended up making a bad decision one night which ended up costing her community time. At an organization for veterans and their families, using her music. She ends up working with a surly teenager who lost her dad in the service. Greer tries to get through to her as she is heading down the wrong road. Ally was hurting after losing her dad and hanging out with bad kids and being mouthy and doing what she wants. But we also find out what her home life has been like since her dad died and your heart will melt.
Greer also ends up helping a veteran, who was injured and was the golden boy of the town. He is angry and doesn't want to live. Greer doesn't back down and keeps going back to help him. His defences start crumbling down.
I really enjoyed this book a lot and thanks to St. Martin's and NetGalley for the ARC, for review.
