Fireworks Over Toccoa by Jeffery Stepakoff




Reading Level: Adult
(Haven't Read it yet)



I have a ton of books I want to read and none of them have been grabbing my attention. I blame my TV watching for my lack of interest in my books. I've been catching up on Glee and Farscape has grabbed my attention. Netflix is evil. We bought a Roku to hook up to our TV so we can watch all the Netflix instant TV shows and movies right on the TV. It's addictive. And I can't forget about all the awesome TV shows and movies we have here at the library. And while my books were winning out for awhile, lately the TV is in the lead. While I have tried to read and watch at the same time I get distracted. Why wouldn't I trying to do two things at once.


Fireworks Over Toccoa is a love story. Lily Davis Woodward was married just days before her husband was sent abroad to fight in WWII. When her husband and the rest of the soilders return home a huge party is planned, fireworks included. Lily meets Jake Russo, a handsome Italian immigrant, during the fireworks display that he is responsible for. During that encounter he steals Lily's heart and soul leaving her torn between doing what is right and following her heart. This looks like a really good one. I'm going to read it eventually.
