"When a new customer brings in a badly damaged violin, it is exactly the sort of challenge Siobhan Walsh craves. The man who brought it in is not. He's too close to the painful past that left her heart and her faith in shambles. Matt Buchanan has had a rough start as worship pastor at Pursuers Church. A car accident on his way into town left him with a nearly totaled truck, a sprained ankle, and an heirloom violin in pieces. When he takes it to a local repair shop, he's fascinated with the restoration process-and with the edgy, closedoff woman doing the work. As their friendship deepens and turns into more, the history of the violin itself reveals more about their current problems than they could have ever expected. It may be more than they can overcome. ~~~ On the nineteenth-century frontier, a gruesome tomahawk attack wiped out most of Deborah Caldwell's family. Her greatest solace after the tragedy is the music from her father's prized violin. Given her horrendous scars, she'd resigned herself to a spinster's life until a soft-spoken local farmer proposes marriage. Levi Martinson's gentle love starts to chip away at her hardened heart, until unexpected, devasting details about the attack are revealed, putting their love-and Deborah's shaky faith-to the ultimate test. ~~~ Full of forgiveness and the message that no one is too damaged for God's healing touch, the final book in the split-time Sedgwick County Chronicles will thrill fans of Rachel Hauck, Lisa Wingate, and Kristy Cambron"--

Wow, I really wasn't expecting this story at all. To be honest, I fell in love with the Sedgwick County Chronicles after reading the first book, so, when I saw Amanda Wen's name on the cover and that The Rhythm Of Fractured Grace was part of that series, well, I decided to read it without checking out the blurb.
As I said, this story was quite unexpected but I'd love to stand up and cheer for Amanda Wen's bravery in taking on the very tough topic in the contemporary thread of The Rhythm Of Fractured Grace. I can't say too much for fear of giving things away but I can tell you that it is long past time for it to be addressed in fiction as well as in real life. I found the themes of forgiveness, redemption, and grace to be very well done and nicely handled. The reminder that we cannot and should not take on the internal guilt nor allow others to manipulate us into blame for sins that have been committed against us â�" not by us â�" will be good for and encourage any reader who has or is facing it in their own lives.
It's hard for me to believe that The Rhythm Of Fractured Grace is the final Sedgwick County Chronicles novel. I've come to enjoy Amanda Wen's split time storytelling that is faintly reminiscent of Jaime Jo Wright but without the creepy and eerie vibes, and the characters have come to feel like friends. It's no fun saying goodbye but The Sedgwick County Chronicles has been a good series and it is one that I would recommend to any split-time fiction fan...
