Book Title: In The Heart of Texas
Author: Ginger McKnight-Chavers
Format: Paperback
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
In the Heart of Texas is a story about an actress, Jo Randolph, and her unexpected transition to her hometown, Midland Texas. Having a desire to be an actress since her childhood, Jo achieves her dream, but she has to pay a cost.
This book was quite entertaining. Striving to be more than a desperate actress, Jo became entangled in a unique love affair that ultimately costs her a coveted job and a familiar life. Ultimately, as Jo's life falls apart, she partakes in a journey of self-discovery, which transforms her life right before her eyes.
While home, Jo is hired as a drama teacher at her former high school. Being a teacher in Midland was something that Jo never dreamed possible, but after the media circus, it was very necessary for her to survive. Ironically, Jo reconnects with a former classmate, but her attempt at reconnection was a complete wreck. Returning to Midland, Texas forces Jo to embrace her humble beginnings and start a new chapter filled with renewed hope.
Through Jo's mid-life crisis, the reader is exposed to Jo's often convoluted attitudes and beliefs about her life. The unexpected events in Jo's life catapult her to appreciate what she has in her life rather than what is missing. Resilience is a theme throughout the text that is significantly illustrated as Jo pushes forward and embraces her new future.
