Book Review of Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground

Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground


She left him behind to follow a dream of success, and made a choice every woman could understand. He was her first love, the one she'd never forget. Can first love ever have a second chance? In high school, Tess and Jamie had something special:The football star with the great voice was also an orphan, and he built his hopes and dreams around the girl he loved. But Tess's father believed she was meant for greater things, and so against her will, Tess left Jamie behind. Now, ten years later, at the height of her success as a celebrity journalist in New York City, Tess walks around with a shell encircling, until she is issued a startling assignment: Return to her beloved Ozarks--, specifically to Branson--to interview "Buck Campbell", previously known as Jamie, now a famous country singer known from coast to coast. Tender and passionate, this is the unforgettable story of the path not taken, and about finding the road home and a way back to love.
