An Everyday Hero by Laura Trentham

5.0

I really enjoyed this story, it had grit, sass, attitude, heartbreak, triumph, second chances, and hope. Greer returns home after trying to make it work in Nashville, and a cheating ex breaks her heart. After a night of fighting with a jukebox she gets community service. Working with a company that pairs veterans or their family members with a volunteer to help through music. With Greer's background she is a good fit, but when she gets sullen teenager Ally she isn't sure if it will work.

Ally lost her dad while he was serving overseas. She is struggling with her grief and also trying to keep her Mom together with her pain. Greer's persistence breaks down Ally who has a lot of potential. Greer also gets assigned Emmett, a man who lost his leg while serving. He hasn't let anyone on to his property before, but he at least has history with Greer.

Their story progresses slowly and I loved seeing them both grow and come into themselves, figuring out their next path in life.

I received a free copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
