On the road again... "Mandie knew that her mother was right. She was pouting-plain and simple. 'I know, Mom. It was a good show, but you have Dad to share in your blessings and good times. I don't have anybody,' she lamented. Southern Gospel singer, Mandie McCormick, struggled to find a balance with her desire to serve the Lord through music and her desire to marry and have a family. Even though she knew that she was in the Lord's Perfect Will, she still felt a void that only a special someone could fill; but how could she ever meet "Mr. Right" on a bus tour? Through emails, texts, and phone calls, Mandie found "Mr. Right"-but she also found her Wheels of Progress only spinning, and not taking her anywhere:thanks to her pesky brother Shane, and Derek-'that no-good cowboy' behind the wheel of their tour bus.Shane was always seeing 'Wheels a-turnin' everywhere-Mandie's Wheels of Inspiration, as she wrote Gospel songs, and her Wheels of Dreams as she studied Wedding Magazines. Shane also saw Derek's Wheels of Love spinnin', as he watched him fall hard for Mandie; but would those Wheels of Love ever spin back?
