About this audiobook
It's the difference between just a melody and my favorite Christmas song."
The fireplace is lit, the snow is falling, and sleigh bells echo in the distance-it's Christmas, and it's time to come home.
Thirty-five-year-old Heath Sawyer has finally made it to the big-time as a country music star. After a year full of the kind of success he could only dream of, it's December 23, and he's headlining a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden. It's only as the lights on the stage go down and the Christmas lights outside come on that Heath realizes there's just one place he wants to be for the holidays: back home in Okmulgee, Oklahoma.
But journeying anywhere on Christmas Eve is never easy, and with flight delays, inclement weather, and the unexpected company of a feisty young woman who's about to become his traveling companion, Heath will need a Christmas miracle to make his way home in time to open presents.
Filled with touching anecdotes inspired by the real holiday memories of Blake Shelton and Dorothy Shackelford, Time for Me to Come Home is a sweet and funny story that celebrates the spirit of Christmas and the true meaning of finding your way back home.
Sometimes the best gift on Christmas is sharing it with the ones you love.
From the Hardcover edition.

Reviews for Time for Me to Come Home
8 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Time for Me to Come Home was a wonderful and magical Christmas story by Dorothy Shackleford (Blake Shelton’s mother) and first novel. The novel is fictional; however, based on holiday memories the Grammy-nominated singer shares with his mom. His mom has written several songs, one of which is a song this novel was based on and appears on Shelton’s Christmas album, “Cheers, Its Christmas.”
Heath Sawyer - 35-year-old country singer from Oklahoma who realizes that he wants to be home for Christmas when he performs a sold out show in Madison Square Garden. Plenty of challenges stand in the singer’s way as he tries to make his way home for the holidays. One being the weather, cancelled flights, derailing of Amtrack, and some crazy characters. One feisty and independent woman he meets at the airport is one which changes his heart.
There are part of the book which even remind you of Blake with his fun-loving humorous wit and his love of drinking. A sweet Christmas book with love of family and some romance.
I would highly recommend buying the audiobook by Dorothy Shackleford and Travis Thrasher as MacLeod Andrews was very sexy as the narrator and could listen to him all day and night!
