Two voices. One story. A chance to rewrite their future.

Sophie Wilder returns home to California with nothing more than a failed Broadway career and a geriatric cat. Stuck working at the family winery with her egotistical brother and desperate for a way to revive her acting dreams, she takes a side gig as an audiobook narrator with Fog Harbor Books. But getting mixed up in the life of her reluctant sound engineer was never a part of her plans.

August Tate is still reeling from taking on guardianship of his teen sister. Determined to find a solution to her degenerative hearing loss and to prevent his private recording studio from going under, he agrees to produce audiobooks part-time. When Sophie breathes new life into his creativity and forms an unexpected bond with his sister rooted in their common faith, he must confront the reasons he turned away from his own or risk losing the second chance he's only just started to believe in.

Wow, what a read!

For those who are standing in the gap, believing in their loved ones, this book will reaffirm for you that God is surely putting the pieces of our lives together for good in a way that is more than we can ask or think or imagine.

The story comes alive quickly and moves along at a good pace. The characters relate well to one another. Sophie, August and his sister Gabby each have their own very interesting life events they are navigating. The way they were put together to create the whole story was absolutely wonderful!

I loved that the author shared the characters’ thoughts in addition to their dialogue. These provided great laughable moments.

Though there are multiple plot lines, it was easy to follow. I was able to glide from one revelation to the next secret and then revelation… so satisfying a read.

I really like reading stories where there is a spiritual crisis of sorts. The sureness and steadfastness of those characters who believe is the way that I would imagine God reveals himself to those who are hurting. This storyline and these characters have it all. Gladly, there are no cliffhangers here. We were given a satisfying ending that ties up the many loose ends.

As our characters found a place of healing, they also find their true voices. I whole heartedly recommend this book to anyone who has ever not been heard, those who have prayed for one who was hurt and thus became the silent one, and to those who believe in our God of Hope who sees and knows and has a plan to bring into existence His loving plans into our broken lives.

Those who love inspirational stories will find this one top on their list. Other areas of interest found here are the mission field, adoption, hearing loss and American Sign Language.

I received a complimentary copy of this book courtesy of Bethany House Publishers through NetGalley via Interviews & Reviews for my honest opinion.
