My mother, Linda Rose Stanley Weeks (that's her full, every name ever given to her...) turned 60 on Thursday. And in honor of her fabulous monumental birthday I wanted to share with all the blog readers out there (all 4 of you) that she has a most wonderful book in the bookstores that just came out in paperback. "The Road To Eden's Ridge" by M.L. Rose (her pseudo name along with her co writer and best friend Myra) came out in hardback about 6 years ago and it has finally made its way back onto the market in paper pack. She begins her book tour this weekend all around the South promoting it. I personally thought it was the most beautiful story intertwining independence of a young woman with the search of love (the love of a mysterious family story, her mate in life and most important her love for her place in country music). The descriptions of her surroundings both in rural Maine and big city Nashville, TN. are exceptional. The book started a love of old time country music for me - you know like Patsy Cline now my favorite songwriter. She has just finished creating the coolest ever website for the book so please if anything just check that out - go to one of her book signings near you too; they aren't going to be the typical boring ones where the author just signs your book but rather most (especially the ones around TN) are going to have country musicians playing music and other such entertainment.
The site is www.edensridge.com. And then get the book and tell me I didn't tell you so....you won't be able to put it down!

COOL COOL... I may just have to read it again.. I loaned my signed book to a friend and have yet to see it. HAPPY 60th!!!
