She loves her life in Wintervale, yet she can't help but feel her friends are moving on without her… Sonora Albright has been Wintervale's lone librarian ever since she came back home after grad school. Her hometown's resident rebel, Sonora spends her weeks at work or hanging out with her best friend, Carver Sutton. On the weekends, she goes to concerts in Manhattan and runs a reading program for kids in Wintervale. She has no complaints, but nothing much changes… that is, until one rainy night when a massive tour bus breaks down in front of her house. He is still trying to recover from a floundering career and a broken heart… Jonah Dean used to be one of the hottest names in country music. His first album produced eight Top Ten singles, won him multiple awards, and got him an invite to one of the most exclusive country music institutions in the world. But after a very messy divorce that left him broken-hearted, Jonah finds it impossible to write the kind of fun, upbeat love songs he was once known for. When his record label sends him a tour of small clubs to workshop some new, rock-focused music, his band's bus breaks down in a tiny Vermont town. What exactly is he supposed to do in Wintervale while they wait for the bus to be repaired? Can two totally different people discover that sometimes, those with nothing in common make the most beautiful music together? If I Didn't Have You is a sweet, small-town rock star romance featuring surprises, second-chances, and the lovely sound of a Wintervale happily ever after! *Includes a recipe inspired by the story!*
