After Everything
by Andrea Nourse
All Abby Rhodes wants is a chance to pursue her songwriting dreams. When she leaves her husband on Christmas Eve and puts their Missouri hometown in her rearview mirror, she heads straight to Nashville and onto the doorstep of her estranged father. But in typical Abby fashion, nothing goes as planned. If Abby can’t reconcile her history with her future, she might lose out on her dreams and her second chance at finding love.
