MY REVIEW: A country music superstar finds that "you can go home again" in "A
Country Wedding: Based On the Hallmark Channel Original Movie". Author
Leigh Duncan does a wonderful job of capturing the spirit of the
Hallmark fan-favorite film, and she gives the story fresh appeal with
her own special touches. Bradley Suttons' life changed forever at age
thirteen when his parents were killed in a car accident. His aunt and
uncle took him from his small home town of Mill Town, Texas to live with
them in Nashville, TN. Before he left, his best friends Sarah and Adam
wanted to make sure Bradley knew they thought of him as family, so they
held a mock "wedding" between Bradley and Sarah with Adam (a pastor's
son) officiating. More than a decade later, after achieving the fame of
country music stardom--not to mention an engagement to Hollywood
mega-star Catherine Mann--Bradley returns to Texas to sell his family
ranch and close that chapter of his life for good. Sarah Standor still
lived on her family's own ranch, which was next to the Suttons place.
After studying to be a veterinarian, and suffering a painful broken
romance, Sarah had settled into her own life running a horse rescue and
rehab on her ranch and raising flowers to sell locally. Her parents had
moved to Florida, and her rescue dogs were her companions. Bradley had
never once come back to Texas since leaving for Nashville, and Sarah had
kept up with his career through his media appearances. Now he was
home--right next door--and he and Sarah had some catching up to do. He
had only intended to stay for a couple of days to sell his home and
close his parents' estate, but memories, not to mention the friendship
of the grown-up Sarah, were making him linger. He had the privileged
life of success, a beautiful and famous fiancée, and a solid music
career ahead of him--so why was he feeling like something was missing?
Sarah has more to deal with than the rush of emotions that come with
Bradley's return. She has been struggling financially for quite some
time, and she is on the verge of losing her home and the horse rehab.
What would happen to her, the dogs, and the horses if she can't keep the
ranch? With Sarah's help, Bradley begins to make arrangements for a
small private wedding with Catherine in Mill Town. However,
career-minded Catherine has plans of her own for their wedding and their
future together. A return to his roots has refreshed Bradley's sense of
his true self, and he begins to write his own kind of music again. He
is also aware that Sarah is a very special person--a lovely woman--and
no longer the freckle-faced girl he left behind. When Catherine comes to
mill Town, Bradley must take a hard look at his life. Is a glamorous
celebrity existence with Catherine what he really wants, or is he still a
small town boy at heart? Can he hope for something more--like a bright
and happy future based on the best part of his past--and does that
future include Sarah? "A Country Wedding", both in book and on film, is a
touching and heartwarming contemporary romance.
