About the Book
What do you do when the past you've been dodging shows up at your door with cameras rolling?
Aubrey James ruled the charts as the queen of country for over a
decade. She'd rocketed to fame in the shadow of her parents' death—both
of them pioneers in gospel music. But while her public life—high-profile
romances and fights with Music Row execs—made for juicy tabloid
headlines, the real and private Aubrey has remained a media mystery.
When a former band member betrays Aubrey's trust and sells an
"exclusive" to a tabloid, the star knows she must go public with her
story. But Aubrey's private world is rocked when the Inside NashVegas
interviewer is someone from her past—someone she'd hoped to forget.
My Thoughts
Despite being "the queen of country," Aubrey James hasn't had the easiest life. She agrees to a series of interviews with a local news program and begins an introspective journey digging deeper into her life. She definitely gets more than she bargained for when she agreed to the interview!
Nashville Sweetheart gives readers a glimpse at the behind the scenes life of a country music star. There's a great romantic thread running throughout, but mostly this book focuses on learning about yourself and finding your true self in Christ. At times, I was confused by how the story was laid out. It's definitely a unique style. But once I got used to it, I really enjoyed it. Nashville Sweetheart reminds me a lot of the TV show Nashville (but a cleaner version) and was a really fun read! [4 stars]
NOTE: Nashville Sweetheart was originally published in 2007 with the title Diva NashVegas.
I received a free copy of this book from Thomas Nelson in exchange for my fair and honest review.
