From Amazon:
Charlee Bennett is running from her past. Once deserted by her musician ex-fiancé, she’s vowed to avoid anything that reminds her of the pain of his betrayal.
Chance Jackson is starting over. Hoping to redeem the mistakes of his earlier life, he wants to become the music and worship pastor of the largest church in Crescent Bluff.
Charlee tries to convince herself she should not be attracted to Chance. But then she discovers an old letter hidden in the secret drawer of an antique desk. The pain expressed by its author resonates deep within her.
Can the words of long ago soften Charlee’s heart and help her to discover that there is a time for singing?
My Review:
I loved this book! In all honesty I expected a fast romance, and Christian, of course, but I received much more instead. Christian? Yes. Love? Yes. Loss? Yes. Music to soothe the soul? Yes. I could go on and on about the number of things I could check off, but Amazon would probably not allow me to write a short story in my review. When your soul loves another deeply, both pain and love surface, the main couple in this novel had their share of trials for sure. Many people must reach rock bottom, before they can climb back out. Some make it. Some do not. If you can crawl out of a dark place, this book will touch you. If you are in a dark place, read this novel as you will be lifted by the positive nuances and Jesus. The melody of life awaits those who read this book by Carol James. Five shiny gold stars.
Mary, thanks so much for the wonderful review.
