WHERE HOPE BEGINS



It's Summer Reading Club time at my local library, so I'm trying my best to read lots of books.  I was excited to read this book by new-to-me author, Catherine West.  This is a book about marriage, infidelity, divorce, suicide, death, and lots of other topics!  There is definitely a fairy-tale happy ending.  Which if that's your style, you'll really enjoy this book.  Sometimes fairy-tale endings don't happen in real life, but reading a book like this can be a good escape.

"For all our efforts, somehow we sensed the task was beyond us.  The real gift was the challenge of our faith.  The challenge to see past the improbable likelihood of anything growing in here again.  To push aside what the world would deem impossible and hold out for a miracle."  This is one of my favorite quotes from the book.  The main character is definitely holding out for a miracle, and although it isn't the answer she was hoping for, it's the best answer for her life.  Everyone wants the best answer in their own life!
