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. … 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.

This was a sweet romance that showed a lot of heart, even for such a short book. Dorothy is relying on her faith to see her through her past and helping her find her way in the future. Ryan has lost his way, but thinks he is finding what he wants. I enjoyed watching this rekindled romance happen between the couple. This was a sweet romance that I would recommend to anyone that enjoys a quick read with great characters.
This is a fast, sweet story about best friends reuniting, after ten years. Dorothy returns to Cherish to play piano at her brother’s wedding and Ryan returns to sing. He’s a rising opera singer now. Dorothy is getting over a major setback in her life. This story focuses on faith and how having God in your life makes things easier to handle. Grab your copy and enjoy this clean romance.
This was a fun quick read. Dorothy had been best friends, but lost touch with each other and are reunited after 10 years. Rekindling their friendship was a lot of fun to read, but as is a common problem with novellas, I wish we’d been able to dig a little deeper into their problems and how they worked them out. I still enjoyed the story, but it was a little too short for me.
