Ginger Mooreland is stretched beyond her limit. Her beloved grandfather she cares for is showing signs of dementia and she is in danger of losing the Jukebox Café, which has been in the family for generations. Without the Jukebox she’s not sure how she can take care of her grandfather. The confidence that has bolstered her in the past is replaced with doubt.

Mike, the pastor of the local community church, has become a close friend to Ginger over the years. As their feelings for each other grow, Ginger questions whether she needs one more thing unsettling her life.

Convinced that his wife, Irene, who disappeared shortly after Pearl Harbor is still alive, Grandpa sends Ginger on an unlikely quest to uncover the truth. As Ginger traces the threads of Grandpa’s past and deals with her doubts about the present, she discovers far more than she ever expected for her future.

I enjoyed this book of the story of Ginger and Mike and their many friends. They became real in the pages. And they were relatable as they went through similar problems that we all have. There’s so much in this one book!I will recommend this book to my friends and family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting!

What an uplifting book! "This Side of Yesterday," the 8th book in the Mosaic Collection, this time by author Angela D. Meyer, touches on a subject that is seldom mentioned in the books that I tend to read - dementia. While the elderly character in this novel is in the early stages, it still struck home for me, having dealt with relatives suffering from this debilitating disease that comes in so many forms. The romance is very believable - sweet, but grounded in the day-to-day cares of the situations they found themselves in. I look forward to reading more from Angela!

SPOILER ALERT-THIS REVIEW REVEALS A PLOT TWIST
Overworked, overtired, and overwhelmed, Ginger strives to keep the family restaurant going despite financial and staffing problems. And her beloved grandfather, formerly her rock, begins exhibiting sign of dementia. After finding a distinctive jewelry box, Grandpa insists his wife, missing for decades, is still alive. He demands that Ginger locate her.
Meanwhile good-guy Mike, hunky former marine and current pastor, continues to gently woo Ginger. To complicate matters, Ginger’s old flame, Barry, arrives in town looking to rekindle their romance. Then Mike’s ex-wife shows up and drops a bombshell—they have a daughter she never told him about.
Will that news kill a possible romance between Mike and Ginger? Will Ginger’s business survive? Can she find the grandmother she’s never known? Finally, will Ginger let go of past hurts, and embrace love…and from which man?
Reading This Side of Yesterday will provide the answers, and introduce you to a town full of fun characters.

I loved the close bond between Ginger and Walter. Ginger has such a servants heart. The close knit friendships make me want to live in a place like Preston Hill. I loved that Mike never gave up on winning Ginger’s trust and heart. I REALLY loved that Walter never gave up on finding Irene. The only woman he’d ever loved.

The Mosaic Collection stories have yet to disappoint. This Side of Yesterday is another read that embarks on keeping faith in our Father and leaning into His arms for constant support. Ginger’s story holds passion for the overwhelming struggles of keeping a small business up and running while caring for her grandpa with dementia. Several real life struggles are throughout her story with words of wisdom, caring and seeking help from others because you are not alone. It’s a story of Gods reminder that we are loved. A beautiful read that touches the heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love These Sweet Mosaic Stories!
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2020
I love sweet Mosaic stories!

This Side of Yesterday is the story of hard-working, self-sacrificing Ginger, owner of the Jukebox Cafe, who is struggling to keep her family business open and care for her curmudgeonly grandfather, Walter, who is in the early stages of dementia. This book addresses the issue of dementia in a tender way. Author Angela Meyer has created marvelously human characters in this charming faith-based novel. The theme of community is consistently woven through these pages. I love the way in which fostering is woven into this storyline as well.

Ginger is hesitant to open her bruised and weary heart to the possibility of a relationship with her friend and single pastor Mike. Mike is such a solid guy, and he loves Ginger and her Walter, her curmudgeonly grandfather.

I want to know and have people like these characters in my own life.

I love the Mosaic Collection of Christian faith-based books. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this sweet book in exchange for my honest review.

By the way, the prequel to this novel is a story title The Jukebox Cafe, which is found in Hope is Born: The Mosaic Christmas Anthology, an equally marvelous Mosaic read.

Tender, sweet story with characters I want to know as friends and part of my community, This Side of Yesterday is one of my favorites of 2020.

A heartwarming read with a slow-growing romance, a touch of mystery and laden with true-to-life angst: a beloved grandfather's onset of Alzheimer's, financial crisis in hanging onto a business, relationship snags and community crises.
"When, out of fear, we hold on to regrets, hurts, or the pain of loss, it holds us back and shackles us to all our yesterdays."
Down-to-earth characters dealing with realistic trials made this a pleasure to read.
