Blurbs

Cats in the Cradle (Harry Chapin)
Charles Jones was a hard worker, a good employee, an excellent boss, but never a loving father. He was a workaholic instead of a father. Now he is 62, retired, and battling cancer. After the doctors said he had 2 months left, he moved into his son Will's neighborhood. But Will's too busy with his own family and job to see his father. Time is running out.

Don't Take The Girl (Tim McGraw)
Johnny never knew he could love someone as much as he loves Kate. He didn't always feel this way about her, but now the feeling just won't go away. One dark night when her life is put in danger, he doesn't think twice before sacrificing his own. Everything turns out alright then, but now he's faced with a bigger problem. Does he ignore her wishes and sacrifice the one thing she wants more than anything else, or take a chance on letting her go?

There Goes My Life (Kenny Chesney)
Jim never wanted a kid. He was just having too much fun to think about responsibility that night, and that's what happened. He begged her to give it up, but she said, "No way. I'm keeping my baby." He didn't understand. Not until he held his daughter for the first time. His life changed at the moment because he had finally grown up. Now Sally is going off to college, and Jim can't stop thinking about what he's going to do without her.

Wrinkles (Diamond Rio)

Kyle hated growing up. He wished he could be five forever. He saw how his grandpa was, old and wrinkled and sad. He didn't want to be like that. He wanted to stay young and happy forever. Then Paul and Evelyn moved in next door. His mother brought them cookies and Kyle listened as Paul told stories of being a soldier in the war. Kyle started going next door almost every day just to hear Paul. Pretty soon, he started to wonder if being old was a bad thing after all...

Forever and Always (Taylor Swift)
Jessie hated love ever since her parents split up when she was five. She didn't understand how people who loved each other could hurt each other so much. She hated guys and didn't ever want a boyfriend. Max's parents forced him to move his senior year. He was angry and didn't want to make new friends. Somehow, they became friends. Then they started to become more than friends. Until Max got asked to a dance by Heather, the head cheerleader. Everything started to change after that.

  1. Thanks for using my song! My favorite part is when you say "No way. I'm keeping my baby." It made me laugh out loud! Everything matched up with the song, and it sounded exactly how a blurb would sound on the back of a book. You left me hanging and wanting to read more. Good job! Thanks again.

  2. Dear Ms. Hamilton,
    It was fun to see your interpretation of 'Wrinkles' versus my own.I think your blurb version adds a new meaningful depth to the song; particularly concerning Kyle listening to stories from Paul, it was heartwarming. Excellent work!
    Sincerely,
