    Set in Appalachia in the years before World War II, Velva Jean Learns to Drive is a poignant story of a spirited young girl growing up in the gold-mining and moonshining South. Before she dies, Velva Jean's mother urges her to "live out there in the great wide world." Velva Jean dreams of becoming a big-time singer in Nashville until she falls in love with Harley Bright, a handsome juvenile delinquent turned revival preacher.

    Story

    Honestly, one of the best books I've listened to!
    Ranks up there with The Help, The Kitchen House, etc.
    Good storyline, good characters, well written - what more could you ask for?
    Well performed as well, by Jenna Lamia.
    Just a really, really good read - I promise - you won't be disappointed!

    When Andie tries to gain closure with her ex-husband, he asks one final favor of her. A distant cousin has died and left North the guardian of two orphans. When Andie meets the two children, she realizes the situation is much worse than she feared. Carter and Alice aren’t your average delinquents, and the creepy old house where they live is being run by the worst housekeeper since Mrs. Danvers. Complicating matters is Andie’s fiancé’s suspicion that this is all a plan by North to get Andie back.

    What would have made Maybe This Time better?

    This was the worst. I hate to sound negative, but what a chore getting through this book! If I wasn't so cheap, I would have stopped listening! ;) Alice said, Carter said, Alice said, Carter said!!!! Ugh - the worst book - cliche storyline and so poorly written - am not even sure if there was an editor on board with this book. Don't waste your money, please.

    Laugh-out-loud funny and deeply touching, Beth Hoffman's sparkling debut is, as Kristin Hannah says, "packed full of Southern charm, strong women, wacky humor, and good old-fashioned heart." It is a novel that explores the indomitable strengths of female friendship and gives us the story of a young girl who loses one mother and finds many others.

    Such a great book! If you liked The Help, you'll like this one!!! Southern charm, strong women, great ending! The narrator does a WONDERFUL job!!! She does all of the characters well. Although you may hear her adolescent voice at the beginning and think she's young to narrate a book, keep listening ~ she does a standout job and her character will have you laughing in one chapter and moved to tears in another chapter. I didn't want it to end ~ you won't either!!
