This week's prompt is: Recommend A... Book With a Musically Talented Character. I am going to recommend a book by author that I have really enjoyed the last few years, Lisa Schroeder.

'Far From You' by Lisa Schroeder

Lost and alone...down the rabbit hole.

Years have passed since Alice lost her mother to cancer, but time hasn't quite healed the wound. Alice copes the best she can by writing her music, losing herself in her love for her boyfriend, and distancing herself from her father and his new wife.

But when a deadly snowstorm traps Alice with her stepmother and newborn half sister, she'll face issues she's been avoiding for too long. As Alice looks to the heavens for guidance, she discovers something wonderful.

Perhaps she's not so alone after all.... [Synopsis from Goodreads]

I have really enjoyed all of Lisa Schroeder's books that I have read and this was no exception. I loved that it was written in verse, an element that made it very powerful. This story follows Alice, who composes music for her church group as an outlet, through some struggles in her life.

Comment below and let me know what you thought of 'Far From You,' or if you hope to read it soon. Also leave a link to your Recommend A... post, if you participated this week.
