Book Description:
One broken woman. One lost man. And the long-buried secrets tying them
together.
After escaping an abusive relationship, Chelsea Spencer flees
to Chickadee Creek—the town where her great aunt Rosemary owns a quaint little
antique shop. There, Chelsea plans to help with the shop as her aunt heals from
an accident—and perhaps find some healing of her own.
Liam Chandler was one film away from a leading role when his brother Jacob was stricken with cancer. After spending the last months of Jacob’s life with him in Boise, Liam heads to the vacation home he built outside of Chickadee Creek to get his life and his faith back on track.
While working to clean out a storage room in the antique
shop, Chelsea finds an old violin. Aunt Rosemary says she may have the
instrument, but they soon learn it is very valuable and once belonged to Cora
Chandler, Liam’s great-great-grandmother.
Drawn together by the old violin and stories from the past,
Chelsea and Liam begin to find answers for their present and the future God has
in store for them.
My Thoughts:
Robin Lee Hatcher, a talented story teller, has written a beautiful story of hope.
Chelsea left behind an abusive boyfriend. Liam is healing from family wounds.
Both characters prefer to hide instead of opening themselves up to more hurt. A
violin connects them to the past and a woman named Cora, who longed for a new beginning.
I loved reading Cora’s story as she set out on her own in the 1800s. Hatcher
sprinkles Chelsea and Liam’s heart wrenching stories with encouragement and
weaves in Bible verses filled with wisdom. I hope this story is read by anyone
who feels lost or overwhelmed by a difficult situation, because the reader can
gain confidence and know God offers peace and joy. If you enjoy stories set in
small towns, with good characters or stories that point to a better way, read Make
You Feel My Love. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions
