Who I Am With You by Robin Lee Hatcher Blog Tour

About the Book:
For these two broken hearts, the first step toward love will be a huge leap of faith.

Jessica Mason isn’t looking for love when she meets Ridley Chesterfield. Instead she is still reeling from the tragic, unexpected loss of her husband and daughter—and awaiting the arrival of her unborn child. Harboring the secret of her husband’s betrayal, her pain is deeper than anyone knows.

Ridley Chesterfield is hiding out in Hope Springs, Idaho, avoiding a political scandal and the barrage of false media headlines that have tarnished his good name. The last thing Ridley wants is a relationship—but when fate leads Ridley to form a friendship with his reclusive and pregnant neighbor, he wonders if this small-town hideout might be more of a long-term destination.

When Jessica begins to read her great-grandfather’s Bible, she finds a connection with a man she never knew. Somehow the verses he marked and the words he wrote in the margins open her heart to healing. And as Ridley and Jessica help each other forgive the people who have broken their hearts, they must decide if the past will define them or if they will choose to love again.

Who I Am with You weaves together a modern-day romance with Jessica’s great-grandfather’s story from the 1930s, reminding us that some truths can cross generations and that faith has the power to transform families forever.

Who I Am with You is the first book in Robin’s new “A Legacy of Faith” series.

My Review:

I enjoyed this Christian romance that combined a contemporary story with one from the Great Depression. Heritage and a Bible tie the two stories together. I like how Hatcher has woven the theme of forgiveness into both stories. Jessica and her great-grandfather had the opportunity to forgive unfaithfulness in marriage. Ridley faced forgiving the one who had ruined his career. The Christian message of forgiveness is strong and well presented in the novel.

I recommend this novel to readers who enjoy a good character driven Christian romance containing a clear message of forgiveness and trust. It is a gentle read with no suspense and no surprises.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
