From Rachel Hauck, the award-winning author of The Wedding Dress, comes Nashville Dreams, the story of a talented young woman with a gift, a dream, and something to prove in the most musical—and competitive—city in America.

The best songwriter in Freedom, Alabama, is about to go pro in Nashville—or go down in flames.

Robin Rae is never more herself than when she’s singing one of her songs on the front porch . . . but she’s never more terrified than when she’s about to sing one onstage.

Nevertheless, Robin knows it’s high time she steer her ’69 Chevy onto I-65 and make for Music Row . . . with her hometown hunk and his double-wide castle in her rearview mirror. Freedom, Alabama, is no place for a songwriter to run down her dream—stage fright or no.

She isn’t the first to make the leap. Robin has known more than a few would-be stars whom Nashville has chewed up and spat out—including some big names from Freedom. So when she finds herself on deck at the famous Bluebird Cafe within a week of arriving in Music City, she can hardly believe what’s happening.

With the lights going up and the specter of stage fright looming over her, this small-town gal is about to get a lesson in what it takes to make it in the music business. Will a gifted young woman let her dreams be smothered by fear . . . or will love teach her to open her heart and shine in the city where stars are born?
