“Not only will you be able to revisit the lyrics, but I’ll tell you never before heard stories behind the songs and we’ve even dug up never before seen pictures and handwritten lyrics too,” she added. “A songteller is what I am and I’m so excited to share my new book, ‘Songteller,’ with you this fall.”
