ABOUT THE FINAL NOTE
In this brand-new novel from bestselling author Kevin Milne, readers will be inspired yet again by the themes of love, loss, and renewal. Ethan met and fell in love with Anna while studying music abroad in college. He married her, and fully expected to grow old with her. After all, they were young, life was good, and faith in each other came easily, as evidenced by the Love Notes Anna periodically left between the strings of his guitar.
On their wedding day, Ethan promised to love, honor, and cherish his wife...and to write a song for her. Fast forward to the present day. Despite his grand promises, reality has proven to be much harder than he anticipated. Instead of composing hit songs, he's working long hours to provide for his family, and still promising to finish Anna's song. His formerly hopeful spirit is almost too heavy to carry, weighed down as it is by regret.
His grandfather, a veteran of World War II, knows a thing or two about regret and bitterness, and has his own stories to tell. One in particular, has the potential to change Ethan's attitude and help him put the past to rest, if he can open his heart to the truth of it.
Can an old soldier's tales of war help Ethan relinquish his anger? Is it too late to finish the song he began for Anna on their wedding day? Will he be able to remember why he fell in love so many years ago? In this tale of loss and heartbreak, love and forgiveness, Ethan is about to discover that the final note has yet to be written.

MY REVIEW-This book was a new one for me and the author was someone I had never heard of. I did go to his website and I found that he is the author of several other books. Needless to say, after reading this one, I put them on my wish list:)
I was put through every type of emotion while I was reading this book. Kevin is an excellent writer!! My favorite character was probably Annaliese. She seemed so bent on helping Ethan and getting through life, even with all it's twists and turns. I loved how this book shows that life is not always fair and even though we get down, we can still get back up. And it is all part of our journey. The other good thing was how we make a promise and either give up on it or work to fulfill it. Very good thoughts on this.
This is a book I think even a guy would like. Not too much romance and pretty much a beautiful story. This was well written and the musical aspect was nice as well.
