About the book:

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.

My thoughts:  Somehow I missed that this was a cross generations story.  I probably would've passed on it as I'm not a fan.  Despite my initial misgivings though, I was drawn into the story and couldn't put it down.  

However, Jessica is in mourning. Her husband and six year old daughter died in a car accident after a big fight when her husband announced that he was leaving her. She was pregnant with her second child and life skidded to a halt. She stayed home, lived in her pajamas, and didn't brush her hair. What was the point of even trying?  Ridley, on the other hand, is hiding. His face is plastered on the news, he's made a fool of himself, and he is hanging his head in shame, hiding at his parents' vacation home. Or so it seems. But situations are not always as they appear. 

Andrew and Helen are newlyweds when the stock market crashes, he losses his job and home and is forced to move in with his in-laws. On a farm, no less. Full of shame and regret he struggles to keep going. But he learns a valuable lesson.  Will he be able to share the lesson years later with a granddaughter he's never known or met? Andrew - oh, I had to love him. He faced insurmountable odds and triumphed

Fans of Robin Lee Hatcher, women's fiction, romance, historical fiction and cross generation fiction will love this book.  Something for everyone - almost.
