THE VOICE WE FIND is the third novel in the Fog Harbor Romance series by NICOLE DEESE, but it can easily stand alone. It is the beautifully written story of people finding their voice as they go through difficult situations which lead them to trust in the Lord and one another. It is one of the loveliest Christian romance novels I have read and I will definitely be reading it again. It is a story about family dynamics, as we follow Sophie Wilder who has lived her life in the shadow of her overbearing brother, Jasper, and whose acting career has come to an embarassing end, forcing her to come home to the family wine farm and rely on her brother’s reluctant charity. …..
When August Tate agrees to his friend Chip’s suggestion that he use his struggling music recording studio to produce audiobooks, he is unprepared for the gorgeous Sophie who arrives to audition as a reader…….
August also has family problems and feels like a failure. He feels guilty for his bad choices and somehow responsible for his parents’s death and for his sister Gabby’s deafness, overcompensating by being ultra strict on his sister, taking his legal guardianship very seriously. In fact his story is reminiscent of that of the Biblical Prodigal Son……
I love everything about this story that is based on Paul’s words in Romans 8:38-39 “”For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”.
I like the sensitive way in which the community accepts and includes those with hearing disabilities, and the strong Christian message of forgiveness and redemption on which the story is based. I cannor recommend The Voice We Find strongly enough.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Bethany House Publishers. The ooinions in this review are completely my own.
