My Review:

published in 2020

I have no idea how I missed the release of this book two years ago! It's unusual in that it's a collection of novellas written by the same author and I love the continuity that brought to the read. And what a great theme to centre stories around -- hymn singing!

Four sweet faith-inspiring love stories focused around a group of friends who share their joy of traditional songs with folks in need. And I love the way the author matched a hymn with the inspirational content of each story! 

A wonderfully unique approach to a novella collection.
