It’s easy to recognize another’s pain. The tough part is facing your own.

When Dorothy Thompson returns to Cherish, SC, to play piano for her brother’s wedding, memories and fear nearly paralyzes her fingers. If anyone she knew back in high school discovers her secret, the whispers will start. Fake. Fraud. Failure.

It’s not as if she can blame God for her troubles. No, she did that all by herself. But, remembering His lessons, she’s fighting to get back on track. All she can do is pray the wedding vocalist—her brother’s friend Ryan, a rising opera star—won’t notice the way her hands shake.

When Ryan Edwards sets foot inside a church for the first time in years, he’s no longer the pitiable kid from the poor side of town, but someone who’s made it on his own. Without God’s help—not that He ever cared about misfits like Ryan, anyway.

When he lays eyes on Dorothy—all grown up, more beautiful than ever, and clearly hiding something—he almost forgets why he left Cherish. Almost. But while his heart yearns to call the tune, he can’t forget his hard-earned career comes first…and his old friend’s little sister is off limits.

Note: Contains references to opiate addiction and recovery.

When the storm destroys everything, remember God has your name on something else.

his is the audiobook is a clean, Christian, romance about two individuals whose lives have been changed by circumstances.
Dorothy Thompson’s pianist career changed when she developed carpal tunnel and got addicted to opioids. She returns home to recover as well as to perform in her brother’s wedding. Never expecting to come across the boy she loved in her youth, Ryan Edwards.
Ryan is now an opera singer, in town to sing at Dorothy’s brother wedding before going to Italy to audition for the roll of a lifetime.
But fate, God, and circumstances change their futures. Will Ryan find God again with Dorothy’s help? Will their attraction as teenagers become more as adults? Will Ryan leave town searching for fame and Dorothy stay home?
As with most novellas, the characters and the plot are not fully developed . That said, it did not take away from the story. Finding faith, second chances in life and love, and new beginnings.
I was entrusted a copy of this audiobook. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Dorothy Thompson and Ryan Edwards were high school friends who always saw something special in each other. Even though they were from disparate backgrounds, they cherished their friendship until they both went their separate ways for music. Dorothy became a concert pianist, in high demand throughout the country and Ryan became an opera star with sold out shows all over the world. Now they're back to provide the music for Dorothy's brother's wedding and maybe reconnect after ten years apart. Dorothy is keeping a secret about how she became dependent on painkillers after carpal tunnel surgery and Ryan hasn't told anyone that he's hoping to move on with his career with the lead in a new production in Italy. When these two finally realize that they might have something real, do they listen to their hearts or to their heads. It's a beautifully written, clean, Christian romance with a delightful HEA.
The narration is wonderfully done by Anthea Hallett-Ybarra. Her clear, well-modulated voice brings each character to life with just the right amount of attitude and personality.

Delightful!

Ryan left many years ago and worked hard to make it on his own. When he sees Dorothy again, he knows that she is hiding something. I loved Ryan and Dorothy’s story and can’t wait to read more by Josie Riviera.
