My Thoughts
Love is powerful. It has the strength to change hearts, restore broken lives, bring healing from grief, and provide courage to push us beyond our self-defined limits. Love makes us brave. And hope inspires our imaginations.
Honestly, I’m at a loss of how to put together my review. This book is so beautiful written and touched me in a the right ways that I fear I may not do justice to the story but let me try.
You know when you read a story and it’s just right. That’s how I felt when I was done with this story.
From the start of the story, I wanted to know more both about Clara and Sadie. This legacy that spanned through decades but yet nothing was really known and I found out and I fell in love with them. Both Heroines for stepping out of their comfort zones and following their dreams even in the midst of struggles and heartaches at times, they lived.
I loved Oliver for not conforming to the norms expected of him but living life to the best of his ability and standing up for what he believed despite the sometimes harsh consequences. And Max, quiet simple but he understood Clara’s heart and gave her the best gift. Helping her find out more about her family band just being the perfect hero.
This book is definitely one that will stay with you long after you’re done because it leaves you with the reminder that your dreams are valid and they matter.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. All opinions expressed are solely mine.
