New York Times bestselling author Lisa Wingate
captures the heart and faith of small-town America in Talk of
the Town.
Daily, Texas, has never really been known for much until
Amber Anderson becomes a finalist on a television singing show. The
producers want to stage a surprise concert for one of the final
episodes--only everyone in town seems to know the secret. And
paparazzi are arriving. And word from Hollywood is that Amber has
disappeared with a bad-boy actor. Can anything go right in this
tumbleweed town?
Widow Imagene Doll loves her town, but without her beloved husband,
life seems lonely--and a bit dull. At least until that
fancy-dressed television producer pulls into town, looking
terrified and glamorous all at once. Soon life's not the least bit
boring as the town finds itself at the center of a media maelstrom
. . . with a young girl's future on the line.

storyteller."--Booklist
