When Caroline lost her love, she lost the music too.
Caroline Carlyle’s dreams were crushed when her fiancé died six weeks before their wedding. For years she wrestled with aching loss and shattered faith, struggling to find the inspiration that once came so easily. Abandoning her half-finished piano compositions, Caroline trades her old ambitions for the comfort and familiarity of life as the town’s piano teacher.
But Caroline’s world turns upside down when a mysterious stranger enters her life. Filled with courage and fresh purpose, Caroline embarks on a quest to track down the beloved, rare piano she played as a child. Her search leads her to Rockwater, the Kentucky estate of a wealthy gentleman, where Caroline finds her heart may be composing a surprising new song.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Phyllis Clark Nichols’s character-driven Southern fiction explores profound human questions using the imagined residents of small town communities you just know you’ve visited before. With a strong faith and a love for nature, art, music, and ordinary people, she tells redemptive tales of loss and recovery, estrangement and connection, longing and fulfillment . . . often through surprisingly serendipitous events.
Phyllis grew up in the deep shade of magnolia trees in South Georgia. Born during a hurricane, she is no stranger to the winds of change: In addition to her life as a novelist, Phyllis is a seminary graduate, concert pianist, and cofounder of a national cable network with health- and disability-related programming. Regardless of the role she’s playing, Phyllis brings creativity and compelling storytelling.
She frequently appears at conventions, conferences, civic groups, and churches, performing half-hour musical monologues that express her faith, joy, and thoughts about life—all with the homespun humor and gentility of a true Southern woman.
Phyllis currently serves on several nonprofit boards. She lives in the Texas Hill Country with her portrait-artist husband.

I would love to read the book. Thank you so much for everything.
I cannot imagine planning my wedding and losing my fiancé before it.
This sounds like an extremely moving book, and I’d love to read it!
This looks like my kind of book.

Ah but she can positively influence so many children as she teaches them piano. Thanks for the review.
I have heard that music c an be healing. Christian music blesses my soul.
“Return of the Song” sounds amazing and a book that I would thoroughly enjoy having the opportunity to read. Definitely on my TBR list.
I can so relate to having a goal and searching for something special after a loss. When our daughter died at 17, focusing my attention on finding an Emmett Kelly clown doll like I had as a child gave me purpose and a direction to go while dealing with my grief.
Thanks for the blog tour so I can find out more about both book and author along the way.
Sounds like a great read.
Thank you for the review. The book sounds great!
Any book that has a lot of music in it really speaks to me, as I’m an avid lover of music (played a little in the band in high school) and an avid reader. It’s the best of both worlds!
One of th thingstht is hard to understand is grief. No one can tell you when to stop or how you will grief. I am studying it out even more because it is so complex.
