Hometown Reunion

If you want a feel good book, one that sticks in your heart and makes you feel good inside, this is the book to read. I fell in love with Christi and Glen and their wonderful banter. Not only that but Glen's dad and Christi's mom were characters that made the book even more special. This book is a five stars but could be a ten stars - it was so super good. Bravo to Ms. Scott for a book that leaves you all happy inside!!!

High school graduation brought about a choice for Christina Marie Pierce between the boy she loved and acceptance at John Hopkins. Christi accepted Roger's proposal, only to return to hometown fifteen years later the single mother of two sons. While some things never change, like the local teen hang out The Pit when teens can eat ribs and talk all night. Other things change profoundly, like the former valedictorian of Miracle High School, whose brains only surpass his nerdiness. From geek to hunk, Glenn Stark challenged Christi in wits every day of high school, but the game seems to be a lot more fun now. Glenn only returns to his hometown long enough to regroup following a layoff and to prepare the way for his business idea. Then he will be off to Chicago to corner the telecommunications market. Nothing could waylay his plans, except the girl he never forgot. Neither Glenn nor Christi are ready for a relationship complete with small town interference. Further, Christi defines success as permanence and roots. Success for Glenn requires a big city and big dreams. Author Cynthia Scott pens an endearing romance about lost dreams and new discoveries in HOMETOWN REUNION. The Miracle high school reunion offers healing and love for Christi and Glenn, but only if they are bold enough to be honest about their true wishes and desires. Their humorous clashes and witty repartee regale the reader with amusing moments to juxtapose painful pasts. Secondary characters, especially Glenn and Christi's parents, likewise keep the humor coming as they provide their own fuel for small town gossip. A delightful read, HOMETOWN REUNION comes highly recommended.
