A Familiar Love Song — Arlene James

She left him, broke his heart, drove him to the brink of destruction. He terrified her with his recklessness, destroyed her confidence in herself and her ability to handle whatever the world might throw at her. Twenty-five years later, each of them has fought their personal demons and emerged victorious. He's living a quiet life, happy with his friends and his music. She's a big-time producer, with a mission to right the wrongs of the past. When they stumble across each other again at a battle of the bands competition, neither is prepared for the surge of emotion and attraction that had nailed them the first time around. They're older, wiser, both Christians now, well past the first blush of youth and the craziness of hormonally driven emotion, and yet...like a favorite, familiar old love song that won't be forgotten that attraction plays on and on. Even as Wyatt and his partner Drew find themselves going along with Maggs's wild idea to create a new kind of variety praise band, Wyatt struggles with his personal involvement with Maggs. As the ten-member band forms and becomes a family of colorful and talented characters covering four decades in age, Wyatt fears that his history with Maggs will derail what is becoming a great blessing for the whole group, but her performance venue is an integral part of the deal. As the revelation of one old secret propels the couple together, another seems destined to blow them apart forever. Thankfully, a meddling friend with secrets of his own, brings reason and perhaps a glimpse of God's ultimate will to the situation, but can Wyatt find a way to forgive what Maggs herself cannot? And will that be enough to overcome what awaits them in the future?
