Holiday in Your Heart

Many girls dream of becoming princesses, but for the heroine of Holiday in Your Heart, nothing could be better than singing at the Grand Ole Opry.  Teenaged singing sensation Anna Lee has realized her dream of performing a holiday concert on the fabled stage.  Yet her happiness is clouded by thoughts of her grandmother, stricken with a serious illness back in her native Mississippi and unable to see her beloved granddaughter triumph at this special time of year.  It takes the lessons of an older country singer, a musical legend now past her prime, to show the young woman that if you carry a holiday in your heart all year round, you'll always know which things really matter, which songs are the ones you have to sing.  LeAnn Rimes's legions of fans will find Holiday in Your Heart a tale as heartrending as the finest country ballad.

Born in 1982 in Pearl, Mississippi, LeAnn Rimes now lives at home with her parents in Dallas, Texas.  Her phenomenal rise in the music industry began with her debut album, Blue, which almost immediately went to Billboard's Top 10, making Rimes the youngest country singer ever to debut that high.  She is the only country artist ever to have won a Grammy for Best New Artist; she is also the only artist (country or otherwise) to have had a Top 10 hit on the Billboard charts in the country and pop categories at the same time.

Tom Carter has cowritten more bestselling celebrity memoirs than anyone else in the past decade, having collaborated with George Jones, Reba McEntire, Ralph Emery, Glen Campbell, and Ronnie Milsap.  Before he worked with Nashville's royalty, he was a writer for People and Time magazines.  He lives in Nashville.
