A Proofreader's Perspective: Yesterday’s Treasures by Jessie Gussman

Yesterday’s Treasures by Jessie Gussman is a thoughtful, faith-based second-chance romance that follows Lindy as she leaves her workaholic husband, Adam, taking their teenage daughter to their Lake Michigan summer house. While she’s not seeking a divorce, Lindy needs to step away and rediscover her own worth. The question is, can Adam make the changes needed to bring his family back together?

This story’s deliberate pacing and reflective tone make it a warm, engaging read. Both Lindy and Adam experience real growth, and it was rewarding to watch their journey unfold. I found myself rooting for their relationship and truly enjoyed their journey to self-discovery and renewal.

There’s a minor continuity issue: in Chapter 17, the grand opening of Lindy’s business is set for “tomorrow,” but a full day of activities is added before the actual opening in Chapter 22. Proofreading-wise, there are just a couple of unnecessary commas and a phrase that could use hyphens, but these don’t take away from the story’s flow.

Overall, Yesterday’s Treasures is a lovely second-chance romance about faith, family, and the courage it takes to rebuild. It’s a heartwarming read for those who enjoy thoughtful, character-driven love stories.
