Review: Return of the Song

Return of the Song Return of the Song by Phyllis Clark Nichols
My rating: πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

This cover was what drew me to this book. There was a point where I thought about not finishing it, but then something kept me reading.

I'm glad I did. It was a sweet story about going through the process of grief and getting to a point of letting go and moving on. I'm not sure if I will finish this series. I would like to see what will happen since a lot was left unfinished, but not sure when.

About the book:


When Caroline lost her love, she lost the music too.

Caroline Carlyle’s hopes and dreams were crushed when her fiancΓ© died six weeks before their wedding. For years, she wrestled with aching loss and shattered faith, struggling to find the inspiration that once came so easily. Abandoning her half-finished piano compositions, Caroline traded her old ambitions for the comfort and familiarity of life as the town’s piano teacher.

But Caroline’s life turns upside-down when a mysterious stranger enters her life, bringing courage andfresh purpose. Inspired by her new acquaintance, Caroline embarks on a quest to track down the beloved rare piano she played as a child. Her search leads her to Rockwater, the Kentucky estate of a wealthy gentleman, where Caroline finds her heart may be composing a surprising new song.


About the author:


Phyllis Clark Nichols’s character-driven Southern fiction explores profound human questions using the

imagined residents of small town communities you just know you’ve visited before. With a strong faith and a love for nature, art, music, and ordinary people, she tells redemptive tales of loss and recovery, estrangement and connection, longing and fulfillment . . . often through surprisingly serendipitous events.


Phyllis grew up in the deep shade of magnolia trees in South Georgia. Born during a hurricane, she is no stranger to the winds of change: In addition to her life as a novelist, Phyllis is a seminary graduate, concert pianist, and cofounder of a national cable network with health- and disability-related programming. Regardless of the role she’s playing, Phyllis brings creativity and compelling storytelling.

She frequently appears at conventions, conferences, civic groups, and churches, performing half-hour musical monologues that express her faith, joy, and thoughts about life—all with the homespun humor and gentility of a true Southern woman.

Phyllis currently serves on several nonprofit boards. She lives in the Texas Hill Country with her portrait-artist husband.
