A Love Song to Cherish: A Sweet and Wholesome Christian Novella

Cherish Series, Book 1

De: Josie Riviera

Narrado por: Anthea Hallett-Ybarra

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. 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.

Note: Contains references to opiate addiction and recovery.

When the storm destroys everything, remember God has your name on something else.

Enjoyed this book

I enjoyed listening to this book and listening to the narrator
I would recommend this story. I was given this book for my honest review

Love conquers all

A wonderful short story of love. Not just the love of another, but the love that God has for each of His children and the love you find to give yourself grace.
The reader did an excellent job of giving this story an added element of life through her talents.

A Love Song to Cherish

Retuning home after a troubled past can be difficult, but it’s also an opportunity for a second chance. This short novella is Dorothy and Ryan’s story.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Coming home

A story of 2 friends that took a different path in life, coming home to find their purpose.
Low angst, drama, a busybody neighbor makes this an enjoyable story. The narration was good.

A sweet Christian romance

his is the audiobook is a clean, Christian, romance about two individuals whose lives have been changed by circumstances.
Dorothy Thompson’s pianist career changed when she developed carpal tunnel and got addicted to opioids. She returns home to recover as well as to perform in her brother’s wedding. Never expecting to come across the boy she loved in her youth, Ryan Edwards.
Ryan is now an opera singer, in town to sing at Dorothy’s brother wedding before going to Italy to audition for the roll of a lifetime.
But fate, God, and circumstances change their futures. Will Ryan find God again with Dorothy’s help? Will their attraction as teenagers become more as adults? Will Ryan leave town searching for fame and Dorothy stay home?
As with most novellas, the characters and the plot are not fully developed . That said, it did not take away from the story. Finding faith, second chances in life and love, and new beginnings.
I was entrusted a copy of this audiobook. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
