Title: LOST MELODYAuthors: Lori Copeland and Virginia SmithPublisher: ZondervanNovember 2011ISBN: 9780310289869Genre: Inspirational/women’s fictionJill King is a talented concert pianist. She’s on her way to play at Carnegie Hall, when a subway accident takes her career from her in one unexpected blow. Now, a year later, Jill is living in Nova Scotia. She is thankful that she is alive and that she still has the love of her life, Greg, but still bitter that she lost the ability to play the piano—a passion she’d built her life around. With the death of Jill’s most important dream, a nightmare, even scarier than she imagined, comes to life. Jill is terrified that an inferno will destroy her town. She sounds the alarm, but this could cost Greg his political ambitions as well as their relationship. Not to mention, the townsfolk assume she’s lost more than her musical ability. Inspired by a real life even in 1917, LOST MELODY is a well-written story by two authors who are both best sellers in their own right. Jill is a very realistic character, scarred in more than one way by the unimaginable tragedy that took her life-long dream, and facing another nightmare of horrific proportions. I especially liked the character of Robert who only appeared sporadically in the story. He was such a treat. If you are looking for a good women’s fiction novel to read, then I recommend LOST MELODY. $12.99. 350 pages. Jill's dream of becoming a concert pianist comes to an abrupt end when her hand is injured in a subway accident. She is putting her life back together when she is haunted by another dream. In this dream are disaster, destruction, and death. She feels compelled to warn the townspeople, but gets a mixed reaction--some who believe and prepare to evacuate and those who think she's crazy. Her fiance must also choose whether to believe Jill and put his political campaign in jeopardy or to turn his back on her and save his political career.Jill feels called to share the information she receives in the recurring dream. Doing what one feels God has called them to do even in the face of opposition is the main theme.This book was borrowed from the Edward Ward Carmack public library.
What do You think about Lost Melody (2011)?
The ending was great but the rest of the book was a bit boring and predictable.
