The Starbucks

When Nashville visitors ask to stay, Jasper Starbuck warns them they may have to trade city clothes for homespun—and then eyes young Tom Elliott as if he’s already found him wanting. Tom, meanwhile, has just seen Lou Starbuck in the doorway.

In the hills of East Tennessee, Sunday prayers share the air with horse talk, old feuds and promises to thrash a rival. Jasper, once quick to settle a quarrel with his fists, has been tempered by the loss of his twin sons and first wife; humor, generosity and a watchful eye remain. Now Mrs. Mayfield and Tom have arrived from Nashville, bringing new company to a household unaccustomed to outsiders—and a spark of interest that Jasper may not welcome. How long can city visitors stay before the mountain household makes its own rules?
