Who knew the pipe dream that none of them thought would amount to much would ever sky rocket as it had? Even the guy no one else could get an appointment with was knocking on their door wanting to represent them during this year that wasn’t turning out anything like they expected it to. Actually it was Maddie’s door…her father’s front door to be absolutely accurate. And it didn’t help that Maddie disliked Alexander Burkheimer at first sight. That didn’t bode well for anyone. In all the ways that really mattered they were like sisters even though their backgrounds couldn’t be more different. The choices they made weren’t always the same but in this one thing they were in total agreement. This one year…not forever…but this one year between all the years behind them spent studying and whatever came next in their lives…they just wanted this one year between what was and what was yet to come to do something totally different…something unexpected and maybe even a little out of character just to see what might come of it…wishful thinking that it might be. Raindrops and Tears is the ongoing story of four young women and their determination to maintain a level of normalcy in their lives even as what started as little more than a silly impractical dream takes an unexpected turn. Even as their names become known to all and the popularity of their style of music soars high in a world they are new to they are unwavering in their resolve not to veer from what it most important…family, friends, and home. Whiskey and Wine is the second book in the Raindrops and Tears series. Also available is When Home Beckons. Raindrops and Tears Series When Home Beckons Whiskey and Wine Haunted Melody
