A
story of hope in the aftermath of inconceivable betrayal and broken dreams
What if. . .

What if. . .

What if. . .

Crisis pregnancy worker Marissa Moreau suspects her husband
is cheating, but little does she know how close to home her husband’s
infidelity hits. College student Kaitlyn Farrows is floundering after a
relationship with her professor leaves her pregnant. Soon she lands a job and a
support system at the local pregnancy resource center and things seem to be
turning around. But when Marissa and Kaitlyn become friends, neither one knows
they share a connection—Colin, Marissa’s husband and Kaitlyn’s former
professor. When their private lives collide, the two women must face the
ultimate test of their faith and choose how to move forward as they live in the
shadows of hope.
This
story had me clinging to my tablet—a real page turner. The emotion packed into
each character oozed right off the page. Amid such turmoil, there remains hope
throughout. The author gives food for thought, allowing us to see room for
forgiveness in this heartbreaking dilemma. The MC, Marissa, holds tightly to
her faith as she looks for answers to how—or if—her marriage can be saved.
Shadows
of Hope is ideal for a book club. as there are questions following the story to
guide your discussion.
The
story is told from the POV of each of the three main characters: the infertile
wife, the cheating husband, and the pregnant girlfriend. This book is well
edited. The pace is wonderful. I will gladly read more from this author.
I
thought about giving it four stars because I would have liked a few more twists
and turns, and I felt the tiniest bit unsatisfied with the ending. But I went
with five since I really loved the story so much I couldn’t put it down!
