My review:
Have you ever felt a story is so beautiful that it touches your soul? "The Love Note" by Joanna Davidson Politano is one of those stories. I still cannot find adequate words to fully do this book justice.
I love how unique Ms. Politano’s books are. This one is a standalone. You can really tell the author wrote this story with God, letting the Spirit guide her. There are so many nuggets of divine truth throughout. This book is not your normal love story; although, there is a mysterious love note that is passed around to the people living in a house that the main character, Willa, is working at. I loved seeing how the note affected, touched and changed each person who received it. This is a house devoid of love, but slowly things change because of one note and one persistent nurse (Willa). This book speaks not just about new love; but broken love, lost love and stale love. I love this quote from a member of the household: “When you truly love someone, you find what’s good about them and say it. It’s all a matter of where you focus.”
This is a story about the cracks in people’s lives and how the love note brings out different things in each person. It’s also about how only God can truly fill those cracks. I also recognized how this love letter can be symbolic of God’s love letter to us through His Word. If we truly allow ourselves to believe what He says about us and imagine ourselves as He sees us, then our whole life and outlook can change.
I highly recommend this book and author! Prepare to be deeply moved and encouraged.
Content: I give this book a PG rating. Some examples of the content are: an allusion to prostitution; alcohol is mentioned; talk of someone being illegitimate; mention of a baby born out of wedlock.
Rating: I give this book 5 stars.

About the Author:
I’m a work-from-home mom of two fun and adventurous littles and we’ll soon be homeschooling. I married my hero Vince, who is my love and my polar opposite. I write, he tears it up with the red pen. I break cars and other mechanical things, he puts them back together. He’s nailed the “speak the truth” thing, and I bring the “in love” part. But the real spark to our marriage is that he does not like chocolate and I… like it a normal amount. We love and live from our little house in the woods near Lake Michigan.
