This is definitely not the genre of book I prefer. However, anyone who loves Christian themed books will absolutely love this one. I have to say that the actual story line was really good and I was able to read it rather quickly.
It is essentially about a young girl who leaves her parents home and moves in with a friend. She meets a man at work and falls head over heels--of course this guy wasn't exactly prince charming! He leaves her high and dry and heartbroken. She meets a group of people through a church Bible study group and becomes involved with them. Tragedy has not let up in her life even after she marries the man of her dreams. It is faith and prayer that gets her through.
Finding Hope (Christian Fiction for women)
She wanted independence.
Then life took an unexpected turn.
Can Olivia find hope in the midst of her darkest hour?
When Olivia Martinelli, a naive nineteen-year-old, moved out on her own, she never could have imagined what direction her life would take. A life-changing decision, a betrayal of trust, and a painful consequence leave her devastated. Will Olivia find the strength she needs for the journey ahead?

I love this cover, the colors and it's so calming to look at, thanks for sharing your review xx
I have mixed feelings about it. The story sounds interesting, but I struggle with christian lit because it sometimes comes off as very preachy and in your face. Is this like that?
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing Finding Hope, especially since it's not your favorite genre! I really value the feedback!!!
In answer to Liz's question, I hope it's not preachy. I do share my faith though, the story is actually loosely based on my mom's life and I tried to stay true to the circumstances and things she felt. Hope that helps a little. :)
wow, this book looks like a good and interesting read! Not one id go straight for in the library, but upon reading the sypnosis and the reviews - id happily pick it up!
Thanks for the giveaway too!

Guys are jerks that way. It is usually the women who is the level-headed one in the relationship!
This is right up my alley! I think I actually saw this one in our church bookstore...
I look at my kids and family for inspiration. I also have faith and hope that keeps me going.
I don't think I have ever read a Christian themed book. This one looks like it might be worth taking the time to read it.
THat sounds like a good read and I love that you have a give-away for us here in Canada!
Sounds like an inspirational book that would be nice for anyone to read.
that sounds like an inspiring book
It sounds like a thoughtful and reflective book and story. I imagine it was moving too...
I get my strength from my family.
