"What happened in New York, Sophie?"
Returning to her family's winery in California after a career ending episode, Broadway actress Sophie Wilder is facing a start over point in her life; working part-time for her domineering brother is hardly preferable, but having a place to stay and a minimal source of income will provide a temporary respite. When an opportunity arises to work as a voice actress, Sophie comes face to face with a person and a possibility that she never saw coming.
"Yours (aesthetic) is moody musician with sultry surfer hair meets secret musical prodigy and snarky holiday romance narrator."
Sound engineer August Tate has also experienced a significant change of course, leaving lucrative clientele behind in order to assume guardianship of his teen-age sister, whose hearing impairments are deemed degenerative following a severe injury. When offered a unique chance to use his expertise in the publishing industry, he sees the extra income as a way to provide medical options for Gabby, never expecting that his first voice actress would be someone like Sophie.
Books that are this pitch pace perfect are incredibly difficult to find, and a rare treasure to be savored, cherished, and vigorously shared. The characters? Amazing. The story line? Captivating. The over all effect? Compelling.
"Not even the most perfect person on earth is perfect enough to save themselves. That's the irony of grace. We all need a savior, and yet none of us can ever earn what He's already given to us for free."

BackCover Blurb:
Two voices. One story. A chance to rewrite their future.
Sophie
Wilder returns home to California with nothing more than a failed
Broadway career and a geriatric cat. Stuck working at the family winery
with her egotistical brother and desperate for a way to revive her
acting dreams, she takes a side gig as an audiobook narrator with Fog
Harbor Books. But getting mixed up in the life of her reluctant sound
engineer was never a part of her plans.
August Tate is still
reeling from taking on guardianship of his teen sister. Determined to
find a solution to her degenerative hearing loss and to prevent his
private recording studio from going under, he agrees to produce
audiobooks part-time. When Sophie breathes new life into his creativity
and forms an unexpected bond with his sister rooted in their common
faith, he must confront the reasons he turned away from his own or risk
losing the second chance he's only just started to believe in.
