About This Book:
Two voices. One story. A chance to rewrite their future.
Sophie Wilder returns home to California with nothing more than a failed Broadway career and a geriatric cat. Stuck working at the family winery with her egotistical brother and desperate for a way to revive her acting dreams, she takes a side gig as an audiobook narrator with Fog Harbor Books. But getting mixed up in the life of her reluctant sound engineer was never a part of her plans.
August Tate is still reeling from taking on guardianship of his teen sister. Determined to find a solution to her degenerative hearing loss and to prevent his private recording studio from going under, he agrees to produce audiobooks part-time. When Sophie breathes new life into his creativity and forms an unexpected bond with his sister rooted in their common faith, he must confront the reasons he turned away from his own or risk losing the second chance he's only just started to believe in.
MY REVIEW: ★★★★★ 5/5
I have yet to find a Nicole Deese novel I haven't loved! The Voice We Find is an emotionally rich story that swept me up right away. With her signature depth and tenderness, Deese delivers a romance full of heart, healing, and hope.
This book surprised me in the best ways, with a touch of mystery woven that kept me guessing and side characters that captured my heart. Deese masterfully explores themes of adoption, loss, fear and rediscovering purpose. Her characters are beautifully layered and I found myself rooting for them from beginning to end. I adored August, Sophie and Gabby for so many reasons, as well as enjoyed the elements of audiobook narration and community theater. Most of all, I loved that this was a story of redemption, found family, siblings and restorative second chances.
Threaded with faith, this well-written novel made me laugh, cry, and feel everything in between. If you love meaningful stories that stir the soul, offer hope and remind you that God is always at work, even when hope seems lost, this book is a must-read.
