Enjoy For Free Finding Her Voice Written By Lynette Endicott Released Through Text

is a clear shift to a Christian romance the first two books in the series had some spiritual elements but were not so clearly Christian.
Joy's deceased husband appears to her in dreams, calling her to the cabin they had designed but she had never seen.
With their daughter and his mother, she travels to Santa Fe, New Mexico, to learn what Steve wants her to know about his death, and to begin to wake up to life again.
Jennifer has the perfect life a loving husband, a beautiful daughter, a flexible job in the family business, When a heartstopping accident takes it all from her, Jen struggles to survive her days alone, No one else understands, expecting her to "get over" her grief,
Ollie, her daughter's rescued dog, is the only one who shares her grief and lives her pain, When divorce ends in the sale of their home, she and Ollie set out on a road trip of healing and discovery.

Life will never be the same, but maybe along the way she can find the music, find her voice, find her own path to living after her loss.


And if she is lucky, find love, "Swing me higher, daddy. Higher," Trudy Van Pelt sucked a breath as her father Brian gave the swing another push, Her mother Jennifer looked on with a smile as her daughter flew through the air squealing excitedly, It was beautiful day for play,

The squeals of laughter turned to cries of fear, and in one motion, fun turned to horror as Trudy flew from her seat and landed on the ground with a heart wrenching thud.


Then there was silence,

Jennifer never thought it possible, but by the time the day was over she had lost her daughter.
Her vibrant daughter would laugh no more, No mother should ever have to bury their child, While her family gathered around her and comforted her, Jennifer searched for the arms of her husband for consolation, but Brian couldn't or wouldn't open up and let her into his pain.
Not only did she bury her daughter, but soon her marriage as well, when Brian walked out,

Jennifer lost her joy, lost the ability to think, and found she couldn't even sing anymore, Especially not when the songs haunting her mind are the ones she sang to her daughter, She grows weary of the platitudes well meaning people offer, And though her family allows her the space, she finds herself looking for solitude, Borrowing her parents motorhome, she takes off across country with the family dog, trying to work through her pain and find just a part of herself again.


When she connects with a support group on the internet started by a man named Michael who's living with his own loss, she finds a group who truly understands her heart and her fears.
She finds others who have lost children before their time, and even finds her voice again, She finds a man who may give her a chance at love again,

Lynette did a good job drawing the reader into the pain and taking a look at what a parent might go through after such a loss.

Although this book had a sad beginning, I love the message of hope that it goes on to provide.
Definitely worth the read. received the book for free through Goodreads First Reads, What does one do when everything begins to go wrong Finding Her Voice is a heart wrenching story about a young couple with a sweet young daughter, who soon learn what it really means to have to deal with tragedy from the first page.
When they learn of the death of their daughter, not only are two hearts broken, neither are able to find a way to heal and go on.
Not able to cope together the couple ends up in divorce, they also lose their home, and Jennifer, the mother, struggling miserably with her own grief, her faith, and her loss of peace, has to venture off on her own to find some answers.


As a historical romance writer, I don't normally read contemporary fiction, but I found this story to be a fastpaced page turner from the beginning to the end, sometimes difficult to read because of the sadness, but so well written I had to go on to find out what would happen next An easy to read, truetolife book of friendship, faith, and hope.


Only one disappointment for me was in not finding out what happened to one important character who couldn't bear the tragedy of losing the child.
Maybe I will see that in the next book,

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy contemporary fiction with real life circumstances,
