A radiant talent on the brink of making it big in Nashville must confront her small-town past and an old love she’s never forgotten in this engaging novel—a soulful ballad filled with romance, heartbreak, secrets, and scandal from the author of Season of the Dragonflies.
Playing to packed houses while her hit song rushes up the charts, country singer and fiddler Jo Lover is poised to become a one-name Nashville star like her idols, Loretta, Reba, and Dolly. To ensure her success, Jo has carefully crafted her image: a pretty, sassy, down-to-earth girl from small-town Virginia who pours her heart into her songs.
But the stage persona she’s built is threatened when her independent label merges with big-time Capitol Records, bringing Nashville heartthrob JD Gunn—her first love—back into her life. Long ago Jo played with JD’s band. But they parted ways, and took their own crooked roads to stardom. Now Jo’s excited—and terrified—to see him again.
When the label reunites them for a show, the old sparks fly, the duet they sing goes viral, and fans begin clamoring for more—igniting the media’s interest in the compelling singer. Why is a small-town girl like Jo so quiet about her past? When did she and JD first meet? What split them apart? All too soon, the painful secret she’s been hiding is uncovered, a shocking revelation that threatens to destroy her reputation and her dreams. To salvage her life and her career, Jo must finally face the past—and her feelings for JD—to become the true Nashville diva she was meant to be.

A luminous talent on the brink of country music stardom must confront small-town scandal, old heartbreak, and second chances . . . all while singing her heart out in Nashville
Wearing her trusty red cowboy boots and playing to sold-out audiences, rising country singer Joanne Lover is poised to become a one-name Nashville star like her idols—Loretta, Reba, and Dolly. To ensure her success, Jo has carefully honed her public image as a long-haired, sassy, down-to-earth girl from the mountains of Virginia who pours her heart into her songs.
But Jo’s perfect world is threatened when a tribute concert brings Nashville heartthrob J. D. Gunn—her first love—back into her life. Jo and J. D. grew up together but parted ways to carve out their own crooked roads to stardom. When they’re forced back together, sparks fly, igniting a flurry of tabloid rumors. What drove Jo and J. D. apart? Why don’t they ever go back to their hometown? What secrets are they hiding?
The perfect ballad of romance, scandal, and redemption, The Whole Way Home is a love letter to country music, first love, and rising stars.
Born and raised in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Sarah Creech teaches English and creative writing at Queens University of Charlotte. She is the author of the novel Season of the Dragonflies and lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, with her two children and her husband, poet Morri Creech.
