REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"What a life this instrument must have lived."
Timeless Restorations allowed Tess Holcomb to take things apart and put them back together again, but her business also honored the stories behind the heirlooms that made them priceless. When she receives a curious package with a cryptic message and addressed to a name that is only familiar to one person . . . Tess . . . she tries to retreat from the challenge, only to run into a more formidable one: Elliot Sullivan.
Seeing her past in human form chatting amiably with her employees sends Tess into a panic. Elliot on the other hand, acts as if he has found precious treasure. Surely he has not, as he claims, been searching for her for the past eighteen years. And then there's the matter of the mysterious package, is it finally time to dissect what she left behind in order to reimagine her own future?
An enduring story, with many twists and turns, that traces the travels of a precious timepiece through the hands of its many temporary caretakers while challenging two broken souls to allow God to "restore the years that the locusts have eaten". (Joel 2:25)
"Forgiveness sounds so nice and so simple. Tidy. But it is messy business for us mere mortals."
*I purchased this book and was under no obligation to provide a positive review. 4.5 stars

BackCover Blurb:
A mysterious package. A name she thought she'd erased. And the one person she never expected to see again.
Tess
Holcomb has built a new life in Alabama, repairing timepieces and
avoiding her troubled past as she restores her customers' family
heirlooms--treasures she never had. When a mysterious package arrives
addressed to Teresa Baker, the name she abandoned, Tess finds herself
drawn into a puzzle that threatens her delicate peace.
Then
Elliot Sullivan appears at her door after eighteen years, and Tess knows
he's after more than just forgiveness. She doesn't trust his motives,
but he could be the key to uncovering the origin of the mystery package
and its cryptic contents.
Tess has found safety in her simple
life, but to reunite this lost heirloom with its rightful recipient she
will have to come out of hiding. Each clue leads her further from the
security of home, and each story reveals hidden truths. The question is
whether she's brave enough to face what she might find--and whether the
man beside her can be trusted with what matters most.
