My Review:

Trigger warning: miscarriage, death of husband and child 

You all, I have NO idea how I picked up two audiobooks back-to-back, that had all three of these triggers. The two books could not be more different, but it was surprising to encounter it in both.

Who I Am With You is a well-written, gripping story. The characters face situations that are deep and have left them raw. I was surprised by several events in the past timelime, which made the story more gritty.  The stories offer hope, healing, and forgiveness. 

The narrator was just okay. It was hard to distinguish who was speaking at times because they all mostly sounded alike.

★★★★/5

Synopsis (Goodreads): 

For these two broken hearts, the first step toward love will be a huge leap of faith. 

Jessica Mason isn’t looking for love when she meets Ridley Chesterfield. Instead she is still reeling from the tragic, unexpected loss of her husband and daughter—and awaiting the arrival of her unborn child. Harboring the secret of her husband’s betrayal, her pain is deeper than anyone knows.

Ridley Chesterfield is hiding out in Hope Springs, Idaho, avoiding a political scandal and the barrage of false media headlines that have tarnished his good name. The last thing Ridley wants is a relationship—but when fate leads Ridley to form a friendship with his reclusive and pregnant neighbor, he wonders if this small-town hideout might be more of a long-term destination. 

When Jessica begins to read her great-grandfather’s Bible, she finds a connection with a man she never knew. Somehow the verses he marked and the words he wrote in the margins open her heart to healing. And as Ridley and Jessica help each other forgive the people who have wronged them, they must decide if the past will define them or if they will choose to love again. 

Who I Am With You weaves together a modern-day romance with Jessica’s great-grandfather’s story from the 1930s, reminding us that some truths can cross generations and that faith has the power to transform families forever.
