Review by Patricia KrugerChristian Art
Her Mother's Hope is the long awaited novel by the best selling author Francine Rivers. This is a first part of a two part epic that spans across generations and continents which explores the bond and love, the unconscious feelings affecting behaviour, forcing growth and change between mother and daughter. Marriage and motherhood brings joy and heartbreak. Martha must give up her life long ambition, she submits to her husband and children, her long kept secret causes her daughter Hildarama to doubt her love. Hildarama wants to gain acceptance by trying to please her mother, she falls in love has children of her own. Her tough love towards her daughter Carolyn is misunderstood. Do not miss the second part "Her Daughter's Dream".
I've actually struggled with Francine Rivers lately. I found that Her Mother’s Hope didn’t have very much hope at all. After writing my own review (which you can read at www.tracysbooknook.com ) I went out and read about 50 other reviews, and 50 out of 50 loved this book. I guess there’s always one in the crowd who doesn’t fit in – and this time it’s me. :-(
