A Star to Steer By
(2015)(The fourth book in the Cane River Romance series)
A novel by Mary Jane Hathaway
Seizing the day isn't just for poets, and life is too short to be without the people you love. A story of family, loyalty, and a true love that can't be disguised.
Roxie Sunshine Hardy is perfectly happy living in Philadelphia, far away from her hometown. Growing up as a chubby nerd obsessed with classic literature, Roxie finally feels like she's found her place in the world. She's kept her full name a secret and has never, ever, ever told a single soul how she spent her high school years. People might think growing up in a family bakery is delightful, but Roxie knows the reality. Spending countless sweaty afternoons inside Sunshine Bakery's big, pink foam cupcake costume is the stuff of her nightmares.
Those terrible days are behind her now, but when her family needs her, Roxie decides to return to Natchitoches. She assures herself that it's only for a few weeks, and there isn't a snowball's chance in Dante's Inferno that she'll have to get into that cupcake suit.
Moving from New York City to Natchitoches shouldn't be a problem for Andy McBride. The slower pace, Creole culture, and friendly locals make up for the lack of any good Thai take-out. But Andy hasn't counted on how much he'd miss his brother, Mark. He can't uproot Mark from his group home for the mentally disabled back in New York, so Andy tries to go on as usual. To everyone else, including his fascinating neighbor from Philly, he's living the carefree life of a wealthy bachelor, but Andy is haunted by the knowledge that Mark might not be around for much longer.
When an unlikely friendship blossoms with Sunshine Bakery's anonymous dancing cupcake, Andy decides to stop pretending to be someone he's not.
