About This Book
Jolene doesn't remember her father, but that doesn't mean she wants a new one. As far as she's concerned, she and Momma and Grandpa are doing just fine on their own. So when Leroy Redfield, a tall logger with a booming laugh, starts taking Momma dancing on Friday nights, Jolene is determined to get him out of their lives. Somehow, though, the man just won't go away, and as he patiently works to gain Jolene's acceptance, Jolene finds herself letting go of her resentment.About the Authors or Illustrators
