A story that tugs at your heartstrings

Sonya Katye Childers has done an amazing job bringing to life the country music scene and the demands of being on the road as an entertainer. But that's only the beginning. This is really a love story about two people who are star-crossed in so many ways, circumstances conspire to keep them apart every time they get together, but each separation only strengthens their love for each other. You will laugh, you will cry, you will wring your hands when it seems life has finally dealt them a dividing blow, but get those hankies ready for an ending that will have you cheering and crying at the same time. Ms. Childers is an outstanding writer. This is a book not to miss.

This book is great!

Reading is definitely NOT a favorite past-time of mine, but if there were more books like this, it sure would be! This book is amazing! The story will draw you in from page one and you won't be able to put it down. Sonya's style or writing really makes you feel like you are right there with the characters in the book. I can't wait to read more from this author!

TIDES OF TIME will bring tears to your eyes and leave a smile on your heart

Rebecca Roberts has been at loose ends since the love of her life and musical soul mate left to pursue his dreams of stardom in Nashville. Despite her mother's incessant insults and abuse, Rebecca continues to work toward her dreams of being a successful songwriter. Her Uncle Bert and her best friend, Whitney, have been supportive and encouraging of Becca's musical aspirations in the years since Jason left. Both are aware, however, that she never has gotten over him. Jason Engles left Becca to become a big Nashville star. He became disillusioned when his `career' failed to go anywhere. After a year of playing in dives and living on bologna sandwiches, Jason opted to join the Marines in favor of three meals a day and a roof over his head. By the time he was discharged from the military, he was able to focus on his music and finally fulfilled his dream. But he never stopped thinking about or loving Becca. All Becca wants to do is relax and spend some time working on lyrics or possibly even napping. Any thoughts of napping or writing are extinguished by Whitney's arrival at Becca's apartment. Whitney is determined that Becca needs to go out and she's not taking `no' for an answer. Becca assumes that her friend is on another man hunt and dragging her along again. She couldn't be more wrong. Whitney has won front row tickets to a local America Supports You concert where Jason Engles is going to be performing. Becca makes it through most of the concert before Jason notices her in the audience but once he spots Becca, there's no way he's willing to risk losing her again . Jason sings the last song of the night, a poem that she'd written the night he'd left, directly to her. After the song ends he pulls her up on the stage and requests that she wait for him in his dressing room while he performs an encore. Having achieved everything he set out to do, Jason couldn't ask for anything more than having Becca back in his arms. Only their happily-ever-after is fraught with pitfalls and unexpected events that will put their relationship through some hard times which only true love can withstand. After reading this heart-touching tale, I'm so afraid that nothing I say could possibly do it justice. Sonya Kate Childers TIDES OF TIME gives readers insight into this sweet romance that could have easily been all hugs and kisses and happily ever after with no effort. However, as this story shows - true love requires time, effort, patience, and understanding. Without going into too much detail and giving anything away, Jason is recalled to the Marines and sent to Iraq leaving Becca to struggle with several devastating events. Her strength lies in the support of a few friends and her own pure determination. TIDES OF TIME will give readers a healthy respect for not just the men and women who are overseas fighting wars, but also for their loved ones that are left behind. On a lighter note, I was very impressed when I reached the end of th
