The Way Back Home

Praise for The Road to You:"Whitaker's keen ability to write authentically in the voice of Bird offers readers a complete behind-the-scenes look at life in the fast lane of celebrity and success. The author's knowledge of music, especially songwriting, makes the story more authentic, and, as she did in the first novel, Whitaker includes an appended section with complete lyrics and music to Bird's next potential hit song. VERDICT Readers who enjoyed the first novel and those who are fans of country music will cheer Bird along the rocky road to fame and revel in her success."

Praise for Wildflower:"Whitaker (The Queen of Kentucky) has a knack for evoking the feel of a live performance--both the atmosphere of the venue and what it's like to play on stage. She's created a winning protagonist in Bird.... Fans of shows like Nashville will fly through this like Bird on her fiddle."

"What separates this novel from others featuring teenage superstars is how grounded Bird is, even as she struggles to process the dramatic changes taking place in her life... Genuine dialogue, a quick pace and a plot that strikes the right balance between realistic and fantastic make for an engaging read... This tender introduction to a newly minted country superstar sets the stage for a compelling series."

"Fans of country music will enjoy the contemporary references to well-known stars, and aspiring musicians will appreciate the detailed plotlines involving Bird's work in crafting music and song lyrics... Instant success isn't always this easy, but Wildflower gives the reader a satisfying novel with a cast of characters who are all worthy of making it to the top of the charts."

"Whitaker's novel Wildflower is pitch perfect and bursting with soul and heart."

"Authentic, romantic, and entertaining--Wildflower and Bird will make you fly."
