Velva Jean Learns to Drive
A Historical Fiction Novel by Jennifer Niven
Book 1 of the Velva Jean Series
From the author of the New York Times bestsellers Holding Up the Universe and All the Bright Places, a spellbinding debut about ill-fated love—and what it means to grow up.
Velva Jean's mother urged her to "live out there in the great wide world," and growing up in Appalachia in the years before World War II, Velva Jean dreams of becoming a big-time singer in Nashville. Then she falls in love with Harley Bright, a handsome juvenile delinquent turned revival preacher. As their tumultuous love story unfolds, Velva Jean must choose between keeping her hard-won home and pursuing her dream of singing in the Grand Ole Opry.
