HATCHER, ROBIN LEE

MAKE YOU FEEL MY LOVE

A century apart, two women start new lives -- and two unlikely love stories prove powerful enough to conquer fear.

In 1895, Cora Anderson jumps on a cross-country train to escape New York society and her domineering father. She leaves with only some spare clothing, jewelry that once belonged to her grandmother, her cherished violin, and hopes for an uncertain future. The tiny town of Chickadee Creek is idyllic and welcoming, but it's only a matter of time before Cora's new friends discover the secrets of her past.

More than a hundred years later, Chelsea Spencer is fleeing a dangerous situation of her own when her great-aunt's antique shop in Chickadee Creek becomes the perfect haven. At the same time, up-and-coming Hollywood star Liam Chandler has returned to the town of his ancestors to grieve some painful family losses and ponder the direction of his career.

When Chelsea discovers a beautiful violin among her aunt's antiques, she begins to wonder about its origins. In this heartwarming Idaho town, one precious instrument will connect Liam and Chelsea to each other and to love long forgotten. There, the captivating history tells them the stories of how to walk by faith and live in God's perfect freedom.

My Review:

There's something so comforting about slipping into a well-loved author's book. Even though the characters and setting may be different, there's still a sense of homecoming. That's the way I feel about Robin Lee Hatcher's stories. There's familiarity in the storytelling style and the blessed predictability of a well executed inspirational thread. I know I'm going to be entertained and uplifted and come away a little heart-and-soul smarter. Happy, happy sigh. So I entered this read with an anticipatory thrill that still hasn't faded.

Dual timeline heaven. 

Two heroines at crossroads, striving to find a place of security and peace. A place to grow into the kind of women God wants them to be. And their heroes -- successful, driven men who are rooted in their faith. 

I especially loved the way Liam (present day hero) was so deliberate about waiting on God's direction in some really important areas of his life despite outside pressures that tried to force him into making decisions he wasn't ready to make. 

And the way the author brings these two timelines together into a thrilling connection wrapped the story up in a page-turning frenzy of delight. 

Oh -- and honorable mentions to Chipper, rescue dog hero who deserves all kinds of accolades and a life time's worth of tasty treats. :-)
