Kim Galgano September 23, 2017 – 11:50am 4 Unlike my non-fiction propensity, this fiction is the perfect combination of mystery, romance, and sensitive intricacies over difficult, real-life issues. Where my writing might require a journal and the difficult task of goal setting (which, let’s face it, feels tiring), Her Memory of Music propels you toward a cozy blanket on a slow-paced afternoon (because you won’t want to put the book down). Having said that, what Her Memory of Music, and The Chance to Choose have in common is our universal struggle toward Spirit-led decision making.Katherine Scott Jones has so skillfully developed characters who remind each of us that our conversation with God about our struggle with choice is paramount to our destined future. But this is not your typical Christian fiction which habitually over-simplifies life decisions. She deftly crafts the tension, labor, and complexity behind human story.Three hundred and forty-one thrilling pages into Her Memory with Music, main character Rees asks, “What choice do I have? Her mind is made up, and I’m leaving for Mumbai in the morning.” This sentence encapsulates the book for me. Jones does not shy away from desperate doubt, and impossibility on the complex subject of choice, especially within the context of relationship, yet on the final page I am fueled by that eternal hope I cling to in the moments I choose to remember that God holds the ultimate plan and his promises are sure.
