Lucie's Review:
Ginny is a singer on the brink signing a contract with a major recording label, but now in light of all the chaos around her she goes home to Glacier Bay to seek the advice and companionship of her best friend and ex-fiance, Brett.
Brett's grandmother gives Ginny a collection of old letters to read that tell a timeless tale of love overcoming hardship.
This was an enjoyable read, and I really liked following the two stories and seeing how the old stories had an effect on Ginny. I liked the interactions between the characters, and how Ginny healed through her relationship with God and with her friends. I really liked the old-time story, and how it really added to the one set in present day. One of my favorite characters was Ellie's grandfather, his faith and sense of contentment was inspiring.
Overall, this was a well written book and I really got the feel for the two stories and thought they went well together. It's a hard book to describe because it isn't a story that goes in a straight line, but the heart is there. Ginny didn't deal with things the way that she should have, but it made her human I could see that sometimes when she pushed people away it was her way of crying for help. A surprising satisfying read :)
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you.
About
Love Finds You in Glacier Bay, Alaska:
Singer Ginny Marshall is one signature away
from the recording contract of her dreams-a deal that would guarantee success
for the former foster child, who still struggles to bury the memories of her
painful childhood. But Ginny needs advice from the one person who will look out
for her best interests-her former fiancé, Brett Miller. She travels to the
remote town of Glacier Bay, Alaska, where the town's colorful characters and
stunning scenery provide respite from LA's pressures.
In Glacier Bay, Ginny discovers a box of old
letters and is swept up in the love story between Clay, an early missionary to
Alaska Territory, and Ellie, the woman who traveled there to be his children's
governess. When Ginny is reunited with Brett in Glacier Bay, will she
discover-as Ellie did-that healing and love are sometimes found in the most
unexpected places?
