Description
A Secret. A Bicycle. A Promise…
While the elusive Secret Symphony of Giovanni St. John captivated the world’s fascination, it left his daughter closed away in the Silent House – she, the one who holds the fullness of truth about the ninth symphony. Now Aria St. John is determined to not only break free of the loss that has defined her, but to honor her father through one final gift in his last days. On the tiny Isle of Espoir, only one man can help in her quest: James Shaw, the village blacksmith… and the lost friend of her childhood. Will they be able to overcome the tragedy that separated them before it’s too late? Written to slip easily into the stolen moments of the busy holiday season, this enchanting novelette delves into the miracle of second chances, the gift of God's healing redemption, and the joy of the unexpected.
Advance Praise
"A joyful gem of a story, pulsing with warmth and light, Bespoke has all the ingredients of a first class read - characters of substance, a hint of mystery, heartfelt romance, and gorgeous prose. Encore, Amanda Dykes!" --LAURA FRANTZ, award-winning author of Love's Reckoning
"Bespoke captured me with its polished, intelligent prose and characters both winsome and layered, and held me in its spell with a poignant yearning-to uncover the painful secrets of the characters' past and see the unfolding of a future shining with the promise of joy. Amanda Dykes is a fresh and compelling voice in fiction and Bespoke...sings with a timeless song of rebirth." --LORI BENTON, award-winning author of Burning Sky
"...Amanda Dykes masterfully layers in a quiet and thought-provoking depth that takes the reader by the heart and doesn't let go, even after the last page is turned." --JOANNE BISCHOF, award-winning author of This Quiet Sky
"A gloriously music-infused fable forged by grace. The experience in its carefully plotted and lyrical pages is not unlike a cup of apple cider as embers dance and shadows fall. I mean to make it an annual seasonal read. ...It is not just a story, it is now a dear friend. " --RACHEL MCMILLAN, author of A Singular and Whimsical Problem
"...[the] prose is like music itself, as the plot unravels like a symphony. ...This story is a real treasure." --EMILY-JANE HILLS ORFORD for Readers' Favorite
