Description
When Carolyn's grown daughter tells to "get a life," Carolyn returns to her mother's home in the Canary Islands for a much-needed change of scenery.
It's been seven years since Carolyn lost her husband, but ever since that tragic
day her heart has been buried in murky grief. It takes the gentle
affection of her mother and aunts, as well as the ministering beauty and
song of the islands, to draw Carolyn's heart back to
the surface. In the midst of a Flamenco dance lesson Carolyn finds her
strength and sees the evidence of God's mercy throughout her life.
Will it be too late for Carolyn to reconnect with Bryan Spencer, her high school summer love? Or has he grown into something more than the wild beach boy who stole her kisses so many years ago
and then left her alone on that balmy Canary night? Christopher
Columbus set sail from the Canary Islands in 1492on his voyage to
discover the New World. Is Carolyn ready to set sail from these same
islands in order to discover hew new life? And does Carolyn have enough faith to face what the future holds?
Review:
If you need a summer getaway but can't afford a cruise, get Canary Island Song and let Robin Jones Gunn's story take you to the Canaries. It's a story of reconnecting with family and with a past love. But for Carolyn, it's more than that. She's
reconnecting with herself and with life. Beautifully written as only
Robin Jones Gunn can do, you'll feel the island breezes in your hair and
smell the salt air as you read. Novel Journey and I give Canary Island
Song a very high recommendation. It's a must read!
