Shadows Of Hope Is heart wrenching and it gets you to feel some very strong feelings as you read this. I mean how stupid he is and how awful for her and what an impossible situation. What breaks my heart the most is that this really happens and that this mess and broken hearts and dreams are torn asunder. Let me tell you this, the ending ends in a for real ending not a fluff ending - cool. How do Christians react in this situation? Well you have to read in find out - to be in full disclosure one of the three is not a Christian. I can't imagine going through what they all go through and not have GOD to Lean on. What an awful situation. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all of the opinions expressed in this review are all my own.

Courage and Hope in Difficult Times
Published by Anne Rightler , 7 years ago
Shadows of Hope, written by Georgiana Daniels, is a heartrending and thought-provoking story. The characters have depth and reality and their emotions and strengths resonate well with readers--their feelings are profoundly human. The story line is strong...Daniels has chosen a rather gritty subject and has handled it well. Infidelity and infertility wreak havoc on the best of relationships and the situations with Marissa and Colin are portrayed tactfully and realistically, not just fixed in a 'Pollyanna' manner--the struggles are real and the answers are not easy. There is a thread of faith that runs throughout the novel and reminds the reader that it may never be too late for new beginnings.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review. The opinions are my own.
