ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Make You Feel My Love
Author: Robin Lee Hatcher
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Release Date: July 13, 2021
Genre: Christian, Contemporary Romance

One broken woman. One lost man. And the long-buried secrets tying them together. 

After escaping an abusive relationship, Chelsea Spencer flees to Chickadee Creek—the town where her great aunt Rosemary owns a quaint little antique shop. There, Chelsea plans to help with the shop as her aunt heals from an accident—and perhaps find some healing of her own. 

Liam Chandler was one film away from a leading role when his brother Jacob was stricken with cancer. After spending the last months of Jacob’s life with him in Boise, Liam heads to the vacation home he built outside of Chickadee Creek to get his life and his faith back on track. 

While working to clean out a storage room in the antique shop, Chelsea finds an old violin. Aunt Rosemary says she may have the instrument, but they soon learn it is very valuable and once belonged to Cora Chandler, Liam’s great-great-grandmother. 

Drawn together by the old violin and stories from the past, Chelsea and Liam begin to find answers for their present and the future God has in store for them.

Review:

Over 100 years apart two women find new beginnings, hope, and love in rural Chickadee Creek. 

An invitation to help out her great-aunt at her antique shop after a fall, is the perfect escape for Chelsea Spencer who is looking for a place to lay low after leaving am abusive relationship. There she discovers a violin that carries the story of Cora Anderson, a woman over 100 years ago who left a controlling father to find a fresh start on her own. 

Chelsea has been through a lot in her life, and I admired her courage in taking that leap of faith to leave a horrible situation. I really liked how she held onto her faith after what she experienced. Aunt Rosemary welcomes Chelsea's help, she is a wealth of stories, with her own unique way of organizing things, an she isn't above some matchmaking!

This something of a dual-timeline read, though the main story is more about Chelsea, I enjoyed both storylines. Cora breaks free of her father's unfavorable plans for her life, and I loved how God brought wonderful friends into her life, as well as her love of music. Liam is re-valuating his life after moving back to Chickadee Creek from life as a working actor in Hollywood, I admired his strong values and his faith. 

Overall, this was a touching romance, with wonderfully crafted characters, a welcoming rural community, and an engaging dual time storyline. I loved both Chelsea and Cora, who were strong heroines full of faith and courage. This was a quick read for me, because I didn't want to put it down and I was equally invested in both Cora and Chelsea's stories and where they would lead. Another fantastic read from one of my favorite authors, Robin Lee Hatcher!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
