  <description><![CDATA[Her acclaimed debut, <em>The Song Reader,</em> won her praise as a &quot;brilliant new literary talent&quot; <em>(The Albuquerque Tribune).</em> Now, Lisa Tucker returns with a starkly lyrical novel of page-turning intensity and rare emotional power.<p>Patty Taylor can handle anything. So what if the guys in her band dismiss her as just a pretty face, hired by their manager to make them more popular? She's already survived a bad childhood, a destructive teenage relationship, homelessness, and working twelve-hour shifts washing dishes. Traveling with the band gives her a way to provide for Willie, the two-year-old son she adores.<p>But on a hot summer day in Kentucky, when Willie's father shows up outside her hotel room, newly paroled from prison and intent on having her and his son back, Patty begins a journey that will change her from a girl who can put up with anything to a woman with a voice that can bring the house down. <em>Shout Down the Moon</em> is about following dreams and overcoming obstacles, about finding your voice and becoming the hero of your own life. In Patty Taylor, Lisa Tucker has created an unlikely heroine, a gutsy girl with a wry sense of humor, whose life will depend on having the courage to trust in her big talent and even bigger heart.<p></p></p></p>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the second Lisa Tucker book I read (the first being <em>Once Upon a Day</em>), and I've decided that I just really like her style.  I can't pinpoint exactly what it is--maybe the sheer honesty of her characters' thoughts and feelings.  I loved the pluckiness and strength of Patty, the lead singer in ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56265119">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was the first book I read by Lisa Tucker, I have to say that I think that this is the best, so far. I chose it because I like music.

So what if the guys in her band dismiss her as just a pretty face, hired by their manager to make them more popular? She's already survived a bad childhood, a destructive teenage relationship, homelessness, and working twelve-hour shifts washing dishes. Traveling with the band gives her a way to provide for Willie, the two-year-old son she adores.<p>But on a hot summer day in Kentucky, when Willie's father shows up outside her hotel room, newly paroled from prison and intent on having her and his son back, Patty begins a journey that will change her from a girl who can put up with anything to a woman with a voice that can bring the house down. <em>Shout Down the Moon</em> is about following dreams and overcoming obstacles, about finding your voice and becoming the hero of your own life. In Patty Taylor, Lisa Tucker has created an unlikely heroine, a gutsy girl with a wry sense of humor, whose life will depend on having the courage to trust in her big talent and even bigger heart.<p></p></p></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This is not your typical, average, garden variety chic lit.  It's much more than that.  It is predictable at times, but more often than not it isn't.  The protagonist is one gutsy girl, and her story is everything but ordinary, as are her circumstances.  It's a solid story line, with a nice plot.

    <![CDATA[Her acclaimed debut, <em>The Song Reader,</em> won her praise as a &quot;brilliant new literary talent&quot; <em>(The Albuquerque Tribune).</em> Now, Lisa Tucker returns with a starkly lyrical novel of page-turning intensity and rare emotional power.<p>Patty Taylor can handle anything. So what if the guys in her band dismiss her as just a pretty face, hired by their manager to make them more popular? She's already survived a bad childhood, a destructive teenage relationship, homelessness, and working twelve-hour shifts washing dishes. Traveling with the band gives her a way to provide for Willie, the two-year-old son she adores.<p>But on a hot summer day in Kentucky, when Willie's father shows up outside her hotel room, newly paroled from prison and intent on having her and his son back, Patty begins a journey that will change her from a girl who can put up with anything to a woman with a voice that can bring the house down. <em>Shout Down the Moon</em> is about following dreams and overcoming obstacles, about finding your voice and becoming the hero of your own life. In Patty Taylor, Lisa Tucker has created an unlikely heroine, a gutsy girl with a wry sense of humor, whose life will depend on having the courage to trust in her big talent and even bigger heart.<p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Her acclaimed debut, <em>The Song Reader,</em> won her praise as a &quot;brilliant new literary talent&quot; <em>(The Albuquerque Tribune).</em> Now, Lisa Tucker returns with a starkly lyrical novel of page-turning intensity and rare emotional power.<p>Patty Taylor can handle anything. So what if the guys in her band dismiss her as just a pretty face, hired by their manager to make them more popular? She's already survived a bad childhood, a destructive teenage relationship, homelessness, and working twelve-hour shifts washing dishes. Traveling with the band gives her a way to provide for Willie, the two-year-old son she adores.<p>But on a hot summer day in Kentucky, when Willie's father shows up outside her hotel room, newly paroled from prison and intent on having her and his son back, Patty begins a journey that will change her from a girl who can put up with anything to a woman with a voice that can bring the house down. <em>Shout Down the Moon</em> is about following dreams and overcoming obstacles, about finding your voice and becoming the hero of your own life. In Patty Taylor, Lisa Tucker has created an unlikely heroine, a gutsy girl with a wry sense of humor, whose life will depend on having the courage to trust in her big talent and even bigger heart.<p></p></p></p>]]>
