Keeper of the Stars, by Robin Lee Hatcher {a book review}

About the book

Because it’s not always love at first sight!

When her mother died from pneumonia, Penny Cartwright was heartbroken. But now, after burying her younger brother just 12 years later, she is devastated. Anger, guilt, and sorrow cloud Penny’s mind, and the last thing she wants is to be reminded of her pain—but that’s exactly what happens when a stranger comes to town.

Trevor Reynolds has been chasing fame for more than a dozen years, but his musical career can’t get off the ground. While on the road, an accident kills his young drummer, Brad Cartwright. Trevor wasn’t behind the wheel, but he still blames himself… and so does Brad’s sister, Penny. Now Trevor finds himself in Kings Meadow, determined to follow through on his final promise to his friend.

Still feeling the pain of Brad’s death, Penny and Trevor must learn that forgiveness is the only thing that can heal their hearts. And if they do forgive, something beautiful may rise from the ashes of heartbreak.

What I thought about the book

This story has a powerful message of forgiveness...forgiving oneself; forgiving others. There is also the message that that forgiveness can only come through one's faith in and dependence upon God. One of the surprises in the story is diabetes related, which tends to bring any story a little closer to home for me (since my daughter has Type 1, my dad and I have Type 2).

If you enjoy stories of faith, with a little romance thrown in, you may enjoy this book.
