About the Book

Title: The Rhythm of Fractured Grace
Series: Sedgwick County Chronicles #3
Author: Amanda Wen
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: February 20, 2024
Genre: Christian Split Time Romantic Women’s Fiction

Is Siobhan too far gone to respond to the song of a God who’s calling her back to him?

When a new customer brings a badly damaged violin into Siobhan Walsh’s shop, it is exactly the sort of challenge she 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 the new worship pastor. A car accident on his way into town left him with a nearly totaled truck, and an heirloom violin in pieces. When he takes it to a repair shop, he’s fascinated with the restoration process–and with the edgy, closed-off woman doing the work.

As their friendship deepens and turns into more, they both discover secrets that force them to face past wounds. And the history of the violin reveals more about their current problems than they could have ever expected.

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. But Levi Martinson’s gentle love starts to chip away at her hardened heart, until devastating 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.

My Review

Oh my goodness WOW was this such an incredible read. Amanda Wen tackled deep, tough topics that are sadly relevant today and necessary for people to hear. Church and spiritual abuse happen. The coverups happen too. The effects of the abuse can be so isolating and can even alter people’s sense of self. Unfortunately Siobhan’s story is not the only one like it. It meant a lot to me how the author handled the entire situation. Matt Buchanan was a wonderful character. I appreciated how he handled Siobhan’s claims and proceeded with discernment and through prayer. And I also appreciated how he fought for what was true and what was right.

I also thought the historical timeline was well written, and Deborah was an easy character for me to root for. Her challenge for forgiveness was no easy task, and I will confess I’m not sure how  I would have been able to handle that myself. But it also was a challenge to me as well.

Both timelines were about forgiveness and tackled very deep topics. While it had it’s share of difficult moments, it also had its moments of sunshine too. Healing takes time and is a journey, but it’s possible. I absolutely LOVED this story, and HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend it!
