Publishers Weekly

Jennifer Anne Clodfelter arrives bone-tired, dewy-eyed, and surefire confident in Music City, USA, determined to make her way to the top of the country music charts in Cannons uninspiring story. After a day of trudging from studio to studio giving out demos, Jennifer hits gold when a producer discovers her at the Bluebird Cafés open mike night; from that moment, her career takes her into the country music stratosphere inhabited by her heroes and heroines like Minnie Pearl and Johnny Cash. Yet despite the success, Jennifer continues to struggle. Its only after the Nashville floods of 2010 and the loving and firm Christian witness of good-hearted country people that Jennifer transcends her past and acknowledges the power of Gods grace and love in the world. Cannon paints an unrealistic portrait of the country music scene, with predictable and one-dimensional characters, jumbled plot, and clichéd dialogue (I should have been the happiest woman in the world, but I was miserable). Agent: Sandra Bishop, MacGregor Literary Agency. (Aug.) 2012 Reed Business Information

Twang 4.7 5 3 3

A Great Story Line Jennifer is sure that being a country music star will be everything she has dreamed it should be. After a few years of struggling she finally gets her break. Will it be everything she needs or will it leave her wanting something different? This book has a great story line. A young person wanting to be a music star and getting more then they expected. I liked that it wasnÃ¢ÂÂtÃ¢ÂÂ a book about just positive things that happened to the character. I liked that hardships were shown as well as a real relationship with the Lord. The book was well written and the story flowed well. The main characters, especially Jennifer, could really be just about any young person starting out in the music industry. I thought her actions were true to her character, meaning the actions she took were in step with who she was portrayed as. I gave this book 5/5 stars because the story held my interest and the characters were enjoyable. I would like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for the copy of this book I enjoyed reading. I gave an honest review based on my opinion of what I read. September 4, 2012

An Interesting Book Filled With Much Truth Insight Julie L. Cannon in her new book, Ã¢ÂÂTwangÃ¢ÂÂ published by Abingdon Press brings us into the life of Jennifer Clodfelter. From the back cover: A story about the therapeutic powers of friendship, faith and music. TwentyÃ¢ÂÂthreeÃ¢ÂÂyearÃ¢ÂÂold Jennifer Clodfelter believes she is destined to be a country music star. When her passion, determination, and homemade demos were rejected by every music label in Nashville, she refused to give up. In just three years, a combination of guts and raw talent have propelled her on a journey of fame beyond her wildest dreams. Now Jennifer has all she ever wanted only to discover that there is a dark side to the glitz and number one hits. Now she will have to decide whether to sing her pain to a loving audience or find the courage and faith to face the music in the private studio of her heart. LetÃ¢ÂÂs face it we need others to support our dreams. Those individuals who have authority over us and raise us we look to tell us we can do what we want to do. Our souls are crushed when we are told we will never amount o anything and we are worthless. Jennifer believes otherwise. She feels that she is a singer and goes to Nashville to prove it. She succeeds. However there comes a moment when she learns that just because you are singing a song about pain doesnÃ¢ÂÂt mean that it will go away. Jennifer has to learn that she needs God for that. This was an interesting book, filled with much truth and insight. I liked it.

Twang Book Description: Twenty-three-year-old Jennifer Clodfelter believes she is destined to be a country music star. When her passion, determination and homemade demo tape were rejected by every music label in Nashville, she refused to give up.

Jennifer, the main character, is on a path of learning and discovery. But, she isn't sure if she wants to learn what God is teaching her through the life of a country music star. She is a woman that people can relate to and her journey is one that we all understand. I enjoyed reading about her life and seeing her grow through her trials. This book shows the other side of being a star and reminds us that we all have things to learn. We all have a story to share and sometimes sharing the story can be painful. But through sharing our story, we will find healing as we allow God to have control. Julie Cannon is a new author for me. I took some time to look up her books and I'm excited to jump into some of her other works. Her writing is deep, thoughtful and thought-provoking. She challenges her readers through the stories of her characters. Side Note: When looking up this author, make sure you have the correct Julie Cannon. There are two authors by that name. June 10, 2012
