Fireworks Over Toccoa by Jeffrey Stepakoff

2.0

Poorly written Southern love drama sent against a WWII backdrop. The plot felt pretty familiar -- a young woman is torn between honoring her committment to her enlisted husband and persuing the passion she finds with an outsider. I liked the Toccoa setting, especially since I've been to the train station that is so central to some of the plot. However, it was a very tired theme that was delivered in a trite manner. Stepakoff needs to polish his writing. (Jake Russo this, Jake Russo that, Jake Russo, Jake Russo... -- I get it. He's named Jake Russo.) For fans of Nicholas Sparks and light Southern fare.
