She’s a strong-willed chiropractor…

…He’s an old-fashioned MD.

Sparks fly—but will they burn them or make them sizzle?

When Rose Crackinbush D.C. sets up her modern (for the 1970s) practice in a new town, heaven help anyone who thinks chiropractors aren’t legitimate doctors. Those naysayers will eat their words. Or she might make them cookies—she can be nice.

And if she can keep her temper about the town’s Jokester MD, she might win some new patients.

But this MD isn’t just a jokester.

A dedicated family doctor, Brett Shoffner uses humor to help heal his patients. Only it seems newly-arrived lady chiropractors aren’t ready for his quips — no matter how pretty and smart they are. This specific lady chiropractor, not the quips.

Life would be so much easier for these two if they could avoid each other. But fate keeps throwing them together. Can they see beyond the symptoms and diagnose the real reasons behind their push-pull attraction?

And if so, will they choose the best cure?

Welcome back to 1972 Kokomo, Indiana in Cracklin’ Rosie, the fourth instalment of the Weather Girls Wedding Shoppe and Venue series, where the Great Physician can adjust callings and purposes in ways never imagined.

You will enjoy Cracklin’ Rosie, a sweet, clean rom-com inspired by Neil Diamond’s 1960s song of the same title because everyone knows that the plans we make don’t always end up as we thought they would.

My Thoughts on Cracklin’ Rosie

I grew up listening to the songs of the 60s.  Which, okay, maybe it was strange.  My parents were born in 1960 and 1961 so why 60s?  It’s not like that’s what they listened to in their teens. Anyway.  Let’s just say I can sing along to them all with the best of them.

Cracklin’ Rosie is yet another delightful book by this author.  She wrote, I read, and I loved her Weather Girl series and am adoring this series as well.  

I am also a fan of chiropractors and see mine weekly.  I loved seeing the profession feature in this novel.  A lot of people now are still skeptical of chiropractors so I can’t even imagine how skeptical people of the 70s would have been. 

The humor of the dr was great as well.  His character was great and I fell n love with him.  Can the two drs in town learn to get along and maybe something more?

More from Jennifer

I’ve long been a fan of 60s music—since the 1960s! Neil Diamond has been a favorite performer since that time. I must have been in fourth grade with “Thank the Lord for the Nighttime” was released. I had no idea of any deeper meaning, just loved the song—it would’ve gotten a full 98 score from me for having “a great beat and fun to dance to” if I’d been a judge on American Bandstand with Dick Clark.

Fast-forward a good fifty-plus years, and I’m researching 60s music where the song title has a girl’s name in it for my Weather Girls Wedding Shoppe and Venue series and I run across “Cracklin’ Rosie.”

That was one song I sang with gusto. So fun. But I never was sure of the meaning.

What or who was Cracklin’ Rosie?

Then I got an inspiration that made me laugh out loud. I even contacted friends to share—tickled me to no end.

What if Rosie was a chiropractor? That was the genesis of this story.

Of course, it needed to be funny. And who better to add humor and conflict than a medical doctor who fancied himself an amateur comedian? The idea stuck and the brainstorming began. I have to tell you my critique partner, Diana Brandmeyer, understands humor. It was a blast coming up with ways to make it funny.

I hope you will agree, and that there will be moments when you snort or chuckle. Or even laugh out loud and have someone look over at you, so you tell them, “You gotta read this book.” Anyway, whether anyone watches you read, I hope you’ll enjoy this latest addition to the Weather Girls Wedding Shoppe and Venue series, Cracklin’ Rosie.
