Description
Cadence reunites us with Andrew Carmichael, an inner city physician, and his partner in practice, Bethany Cole, one of the first female physicians in America, who share a desire to serve the poor with their healing skills and with love. As the story continues, they discover that they share more than a professional passion--they share a love for each other. Set in late nineteenth century New York City and the surrounding Hudson River Valley, and incorporating the beginnings of American gospel music, Cadence continues the saga of the courageous immigrants who helped build our nation, the struggles they endured, and the music they created, lived and loved by.

The story of Irish, Italian, and Scottish immigrants in late nineteenth-century New York continues in Cadence by author BJ Hoff.
I'm quite enjoying getting wrapped up in this familial, medical, romantic, musical ChristFic saga again, one of my all-time favorite series.
Oh, I still find the frequency
But it's still the characters' rich, gradually intertwining stories that most endear me to this series. And although this novel is a bridge from Book One to Book Three (this middle part couldn't stand on its own), it's an important bridge. I forgot how piercing and gritty some of it is, and while I don't think the chorus at the end is "the greatest of all music" as the story asserts, I love the novel's compelling illustrations of music's power.
Yes, I already know how the Anthem unfolds and climaxes in the next (last) book in this series, but I'm so looking forward to experiencing it again.
