About this listen
Cedra Tyler’s dream of becoming a songwriter in Nashville was put on hold due to her mother’s failing health. When the time came for Cedra to start her journey, she left her home in south Alabama with a heavy heart.
Arriving at Ma Bentley’s boarding house, meeting her housemates, also fledgling musicians, she feels the warmth she was missing since leaving home.
Her housemates realize Cedra’s talent as a song writer and begin to gel as a group. The pain and loss she had experienced added a layer of emotion and longing in her lyrics, unusual for someone of her age.
They form a band, The Bentley’s, named after Ma who is much more than a landlord to them all. Cedra falls for bandmate Juliet, and that inspires her creativity even more.
Will The Bentley’s achieve their dream of making it big in Music City?
Has Cedra found her forever in the arms of Juliet?

Songwriting is done in heart l, soul & dreams.
Ali Spooner has begun a series guaranteed to let your dreams fly. The characters are everybody kind of people who simply have a dream. Ma Bentley's is the foundation boarding home that bring Cedra and Juliet together. The one gift is how well they all play and sing leaving their egos at the door. The home like life this band has grounds the to concentrate on music. I love how they come together to make each other better. Heidi Bindhammer gives voice to this southern lifestyle and the depth of each character. I look forward to book 2 with her voice and more of Ali's brilliance.
