ABOUT THE BOOK
Ginger Mooreland is stretched beyond her limit. Her beloved grandfather she cares for is showing signs of dementia and she is in danger of losing the Jukebox Café, which has been in the family for generations. Without the Jukebox she’s not sure how she can take care of her grandfather. The confidence that has bolstered her in the past is replaced with doubt.
Mike, the pastor of the local community church, has become a close friend to Ginger over the years. As their feelings for each other grow, Ginger questions whether she needs one more thing unsettling her life.
Convinced that his wife, Irene, who disappeared shortly after Pearl Harbor is still alive, Grandpa sends Ginger on an unlikely quest to uncover the truth. As Ginger traces the threads of Grandpa’s past and deals with her doubts about the present, she discovers far more than she ever expected for her future.

I think about how I would handle the things that Ginger does throughout this story and I'm afraid that I would come short. But then again, we all fall short of the Glory of God.
Ginger is a sweetheart. I love her determination to help other people out and how she doesn't think about herself. I'm going to say that I am like Ginger in some sort of way. I really don't like asking other people for help. At times not even God.
Her Grandpa is definitely what I'd call an ornery character! But I ended up loving him as if he were my own Grandpa. In my opinion, he's really the strongest person in the story.
I enjoyed this book to the fullest and I walked away with my heart and soul feeling full. My heart is full because I love how the author gently reminds us that God is near and dear to us. God is in control no matter what is going on in your life.
The cover of this book is simply gorgeous! I love how she keeps on smiling even though life is hard for her at times. It's what we all need to do for our loved ones.
I highly recommend. You'll not be disappointed.
