Return of the Song

Caroline Carlyle was waiting for her fiance to return from Guatemala when she got the news of his death.  She had been in the process of writing a song for their wedding and the interest in the song just went away.  She lives in a small town in Georgia, teaching piano to the children of the townspeople.  Her best friends in town are her landlords--Sam and Angel--they have rented her Angel's studio as an apartment to live in.

Caroline has three goals on her bucket list--to finish David's Song, to play on the piano she grew up with, and to find her purpose.  Her childhood piano is an antique concert grand that is worth more than $40,000.  All she knows is that her parents sold it to pay for her college degree.

She launches a search to find out who owns the piano now and meets up with Roderick Adair.  He offers to arrange for her to come to his Kentucky home and play a recital for his friends. When she gets to his place--a mansion in Kentucky, she finds out she will be playing for a large group of people.  But, she also finds peace she has been searching for since David died.

Phyllis Clark Nichols has added one more significant plot element to the story--a non-communicative autistic girl who can play piano just by hearing the song played.  Caroline sees more in Bella than most people would.

Return of the Song is such a tender book, well written, and leaves the reader waiting excitedly for the next book in the series.

Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and a song written just for you.
