Hope Reborn (Texas Romance Family Saga)

I was carried into the story and felt as if I was there. Times I would laugh or smile, be so frustrated with a character who was not nice, and grabbed the tissues when my heart was right there with them.xa0I most definitely recommend this book, but even more I recommend the series. Happy Reading--Amy Lawrence I loved writing HOPE REBORN! It was so much fun having a novelist as my heroine! She could experience many of the frustrations I do. My husband says that so far, she's the heroine most like me, but I'm not so sure. I am thoroughly enjoying my research for each novel in this series with nine planned, all the way up to 1950, God willing. And there may be more as I love these people. I hope they become your friends, too, and that you will gleefully recommend them to your more real acquaintances! My motto is 'Praying my story brings God glory."' Blessings to you!
