This book is an emotional investment, and I mean that in the best way possible. Shae Robinson is a warm and relatable character. You feel for her, you root for her, and you wait with baited breath to see if she ever reconciles with her first husband and the love of her life, Michael.

Shae has known more than her fair share of heartache and life isn't about to give her a break. Her beloved grandmother who raised her has died, her darling grandfather is suffering from Alzheimers, and now, along with making sure her grown children are happy and settled in their lives, Shae finds herself dealing with health scares of her own. And of course, in the midst of all this, she finds out that Michael has been asking about her.

Shae's Song is a beautiful story of love, loss, and handling life's hurdles with grace, an open heart, and a moving melody.
