Summary
Success on the musical stage is all Destiny ever wanted, and when she finds it, she feels as if her dreams have come true. But with the exhilarating rush of success comes a price - and a battle to recapture the traditions that were her foundation. Struggling to reconnect with the things that matter most, Destiny is putting an unexpected new spin on her own career - one that will redirect her professional and personal life in ways she never imagines.
Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "Country star Judd's debut novel centers around the unsubtly named Destiny Hart, who leaves her small Kentucky hometown to make it big as a singer in Nashville after placing in a national contest. After four years in Nashville, Destiny is working as a bar waitress and hoping for a chance to take the stage. The night she does, her high-school crush, Seth Caldwell, happens to be in the audience. Sparks fly between Destiny and Seth, who still lives in Kentucky and is just visiting Nashville with the high-school baseball team he coaches. As Destiny and Seth embark on a long-distance relationship, her star begins to rise when a music producer signs her after hearing her sing at the bar. Soon Destiny has a record deal and a gig opening for one of her idols, but as her dreams start to come true, she's left wondering if her relationship with Seth can survive. Pretty standard fare, but readers will appreciate Judd's insider knowledge of the country music biz.--Huntley, Kristine Copyright 2010 Booklist"

Publisher's Weekly Review: "Destiny Hart is a young country singer with a passion to succeed. But before she hits the big-time, she's stuck serving other hopefuls sweet ice tea before they take the stage at Back in the Saddle, a Nashville institution. Her family back home thinks she's already made it-and Destiny's not about to correct their misconceptions (having had a little something to do with their formation). But when she finally impresses a recording executive, the singer who's a little "rough around the edges" can finally tell her daddy that she's a star. Success is never simple, however, and a run-in with her high school crush, Seth, sparks a flame that neither of them expected. Seth loves small town life and the new couple struggle to keep their relationship on track as Destiny's star continues to rise. If it all sounds familiar that's because it is. Readers will immediately recognize the character types on display in Judd's debut-the small town stud, the eager young performer, the conservative dad-but the singer/writer wisely sticks to what she knows and makes it all enjoyable. Her novel is as clear, easy, and familiar as a country song about heartbreak, dogs, and dirt. And, like a handsome drifter at a Tennessee truck stop, it won't stick around for long.
