In fact, it hit a little close to home for me, but I'll share that with you another time. Like you, I think this is a story any reader would enjoy, even without the musical connection. I suspect you underestimate your musical ability, though.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691366747122379190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489682774042769094.post-14615423582656686372016-05-14T16:30:06.084-04:002016-05-14T16:30:06.084-04:00Alecia, if you enjoy character-driven stories, I c...Alecia, if you enjoy character-driven stories, I can't imagine that you wouldn't enjoy it.

But even I, who can't carry a tune in the proverbial bucket, found this novel a joy.

He was thinner than she’d imagined. Probably from all that exertion." - I just love how Cynthia interjects this dry subtle humor in the midst of such deep spiritual moments. So delightful and soul-stirring all at once! We do indeed serve a God who gives new songs. Wonderful review, Carole! MeezCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082724442387837601noreply@blogger.com
