The Trouble In Willow Falls Pat Nichols

Heart-warming emotionally charged saga of a small southern town's struggle for survival and two women's challenge to balance family and career

Rachel Streetman is one audition away from landing the lead in a play written by a respected director and jump-starting her lackluster acting career. An unexpected incident sends her fleeing back to Willow Falls, Georgia and Charlie Bricker's arms. After collaborating with her sister to revive the town's theater, an invitation to audition for a play in Atlanta's premiere theater forces her to choose between loyalty and her life-long dream.

Months after submitting her first novel to publishers, Emily Hayes receives one response--a rejection. When famous artist Naomi Jasper offers her much-needed cash to finish writing, then cast and direct a play about Willow Falls' colorful history, Emily faces a difficult decision--postpone rewriting her novel or accept the offer. Aware the project has a high probability of failure she recruits the one person who has the experience she needs.

When a scathing blogger review and a negative Atlanta television newscast threaten Willow Falls' premiere as a North Georgia tourist destination, the quirky, opinionated, lovable residents dig deep to invest their time and limited resources to boost the town's appeal. As they prepare for Redding Arms' grand opening, five newcomers with troubled pasts and one British tourist test the locals' capacity for tolerance and grace.
