Reviews for A Widow's Hope
8 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The author has presented us with two hurting individuals, one has lost her husband and her only child was injured in the accident, the other blames himself for not being able to save his parents, even though he has scars that show he tried.I found it amusing that these two know each other from their childhood and a disastrous date, but neither is really ready to move on with all that has happened to them.Come and watch, or read how these two fumble around each other, and when the chips are down will they be able to come together, or will it tear them apart?I did enjoy this read by this author.I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Harlequin, and was not required to give a positive review.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Ever feel like god let you down? Well Hannah seem to think this a little bit when a tragedy take away her husband and her son ability to walk. Hannah not only has to deal with her loss but also her son’s disability.It really like the way Vanetta Chapman did this. Not a lot of books talk and deal with disability including the Amish. I really do like that. We see how it is with Hannah and we go along for a ride with Hannah as she learn to deal with the emotionally and physical disability. We see that Amish got to deal with the same problems as those that were Englishers. You should be able to fall back and see the that family and friends will be there to help. We also meet Jacob. Will there be love once again for Hannah and Jacob? Jakob has to deal with tragedy of his own and his own scars. Will he realise that god loves him as he is. The scars and what he was doing is not his fault. He not only have to deal with his loss and mistakes but leaning on family may help. He seems to hide himself from others. Will Hannah and her son help him find love along with Hannah.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a beautiful story about tragedy, hope and love. I loved the theme in the book about scars. Some people have scars that are visible. People tend to stare at the scars and judge a person. Other scars are deep and emotional. You can't see them but they are there.Hannah is a good character and I liked how she dedicated her life to her four year old son in a wheelchair. She has had a hard time witha loss and now must come to terms with her son's disabilities. It must be so hard to see your child go from a vibrant person, to one who needs help with simple everyday things. My heart went out to Hannah. Some may think she is overprotective, but I could understand how she wanted to make sure he was happy and enjoyed his life.Jacob is a welcome gift from God. At least that is how I saw him. He was humble but carried a great burden that holds him back from being happy. His business is in need of some help and Hannah is perfect for the job. Her accounting ability may help get Jacob out of trouble with the IRS. I did laugh as they started spending time together because I wasn't sure who was the most stubborn.The best part of the story for me was how a young boy named Mathew never saw himself as handicapped and never allowed Jacob's scars to stop him from being his friend. Their bond was genuine and I loved how the author used that relationship to remind us that if we look past scars and disabilities, we see what God sees in people. Emotional scars may be hidden, but God will bring those out in order to heal. Matthew is a great character who taught this reader what it means to not judge, not be afraid and to never give up.I received a copy of this book from the author The review is my own opinion.
