Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Typically they are books that have not been released yet. This week I am sharing The Songs that Could Have Been by Amanda Wen. It is the second book in the Sedgwick County Chronicles series. I recently read the first book and LOVED it so I can't wait to get my hands on this one!! It is set to be released May 24, 2022.
About the book (Goodreads):Two couples in love. Two sets of impossible circumstances. One powerful God of grace.
After
a tailspin in her late teens, Lauren Anderson's life is finally back on
track. Her battle with bulimia is under control, her career is taking
off, and she's surrounded by a loving family. Then a chance meeting with
Carter Douglas, her first love and the man who broke her heart, leads
to old feelings returning with new strength. And suddenly her
well-balanced world is thrown off kilter.
Now a TV meteorologist,
Carter is determined to make amends with Lauren. After all, she still
owns his heart. But the reasons they broke up aren't lost--and those old
demons are forcing him toward the same decision he faced in the past.
He isn’t sure he's courageous enough to make a different choice this
time around.
When Lauren's elderly grandmother, Rosie, begins
having nightmares about a man named Ephraim--a name her family has never
heard before--a fascinating and forbidden past love comes to light. As
Lauren and Carter work to uncover the untold stories of Rosie's past in
1950s Wichita, they embark on a journey of forgiveness and second
chances that will change their lives--and Rosie’s--forever. Along the
way they'll learn that God wastes nothing, his timing is perfect, and
nothing is beyond his grace and redemption.
The Songs That Could
Have Been is full of the same deftly handled, resonant writing that
readers and critics alike enjoyed in Amanda Wen's first book in the
series. Fans of Lisa Wingate and Rachel Hauck will add Amanda Wen to
their must-read shelves.
