Without a Song
Description:
Still reeling from the loss of her husband, young widow Roni Marsden resolves to be strong for her precocious daughter. Invited to stay on the cleansing hills of her friend’s ranch in Nebraska, she tries to figure out the next step. Should she leave Norfolk? Could she find work if she did?
Country songwriter Dawson Bennett returns home to the quiet of his brother’s ranch when the production company for his first album goes bust. He searches his heart for new songs, but finds himself unable to write. Even as he seeks direction for his career, he attempts to mend the past with his elderly father.
Back in high school, Dawson had crushed on the lovely Roni when she dated his brother. Those emotions are reawakened when he discovers Roni and her daughter also taking emotional shelter at the ranch. Protective feelings for the child, as well as for a stray pup that arrives on the scene, work together to soften his bitterness. Will these connections enable him to write lyrics that honor God?
Or does God have a different future in mind for these searching souls?
Book Takeaway:
A special mate, chosen by God, can help heal the brokenhearted.
Why the author wrote this book:
I wanted to revisit the setting of Creighton's Hideaway, which is my favorite part of Nebraska. The idea of a B&B to heal hearts and souls resonated with me, thus Ivy's Inn was chosen.
