Who I Am With You by Robin Lee Hatcher

     I recently joined an online book reviewing company, where in turn for a free copy of a book, I write a review for them! To me this is a dream and I was so excited when I was given the opportunity to join. I was sent my first free book by Booklook Bloggers! Who I Am With You by Robin Lee Hatcher, published in 2018 by Thomas Nelson of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Inc.

Generally, this is not my typical pick for a book, because in my mind I'm thinking, "It's just a mushy gushy love story… Where's the action?!" Let me just say, man was I wrong and love stories can be more than just that.

This book is filled with, yes, a love story, but so much more as well. It's a story about healing the heart from pain and sadness, and healing where love once was and was thought to be lost.

This book gave my heart a good wrench and not in a bad way. In a way in that I felt deeply for the characters, and could feel their sadness and their heartbreak, but also their journey in their faith with the Lord. 

I felt encouraged by the unwavering trust that the characters showed even when they didn't know it.  Even when the characters in this book felt no trust or strength, they held on because their God is a mighty God who heals even when completely broken. 

Sometimes,  He even brings others into our lives to help give us a little push to trust and believe again. 

In this book, Robin Lee Hatcher did just that by bringing Ridley Chesterfield into Jessica Masons life, both coming from a past of pain and heartbreak and both in need of a little push to put their trust back into the Lords hands.
