Hearts Key

By Marianne Evans

Description:

Once the effervescent leader of the pack, Amy Maxwell should have had the perfect marriage. Instead, she escapes with nothing but the clothes on her back and her daughter, Pyper.

Once the shy teen, Tyler Brock has evolved into a powerhouse in Christian music, and when he returns to Woodland for a benefit concert, Amy can't believe he is as faithful and tender as ever. He even manages to touch the heart of a doubtful Pyper.

But Amy can't escape her own self-doubt, and she questions the wisdom of her heart when it comes to the charismatic musician who is so different now, yet so much the same.

Can the key to their hearts unlock a lifetime of love?

Book Takeaway:

One of God's greatest gifts, and graces, is that of a second chance.

Why the author wrote this book:

I was captured, at first, by the idea of a second chance at first love, and recapturing the joyful innocence of youth, but as the characters took hold, this book reached much deeper than that. This story is about re-finding faith, and hope, despite the crushing circumstance of a dangerous end-song to a marriage. It fascinated me to write a story about life being the great equalizer. In Hearts Surrender, Amy Maxwell was the girl most likely to succeed--she was popular and vivacious. Tyler, meanwhile was shy and quiet, but gifted with a soul meant for creating and performing Christian music. Life takes them down paths that reverse their roles completely. I love second chance stories--and embracing the idea that nothing, and no one, is outside of God's redemptive reach.
