HEARTLAND is a quirky story that challenges the imagination. JayJay Hawkins, a humble rancher from the town of Heartland, finds himself stumbling onto a Hollywood soundstage where a television show is being shot. The kicker is . . . the show is about JayJay’s life. The hit show looks as if it’s going to be canceled because of the antics of the star, a womanizing, alcoholic drunk. But when JayJay shows up, the studio can’t believe their incredible good fortune. JayJay finds himself being cast as the new lead . . . in his own life story. What happens next is an enjoyable read about a man with morals and ethics and how his conservative views of life rub off on the people around him. Some would see this book as sci-fi or fantasy, much along the lines of the movie “Lakehouse” but don’t let that detour you. Just leave your analytical thinking aside and enjoy the story of how one person in a dark and despairing world such as Hollywood can make a difference. ♥
