The Darling Songbirds

A sparkling, highly entertaining romantic comedy about a beloved country girl group, from the bestselling author of Pack Up the Moon: Adele, Molly and Lana are The Darling Songbirds, the country-singing sisters who gained fame in their teens for their smart lyrics and sweet harmonies. But when their father died suddenly on the eve of their big tour, the threesome shattered. Now, eleven years later, Adele arrives back in Darling Bay, the sleepy gold-rush town founded by her great-grandfather. Uncle Hugh has left to the sisters the Golden Spike, an old country saloon. Except this is not the welcoming saloon Adele remembers from her childhood. The building is a ruin, the business is broke and customers are scarce. Add into the mix Nate Houston - the handsome, guitar-playing bartender who had always believed he would be the next owner - and Adele has one potent cocktail on her hands. She needs her sisters Molly and Lana now more than ever - but the heartache still runs deep. Can a rundown saloon in a sleepy town finally offer the sisters a way back home, and for Adele, a way into love? Rachael Herron seamlessly blends romance, friendship, and laughter. - Barbara Bretton, USA Today Bestselling Author
