Fearless Hope: A Novel

The book was advertised as Used: Very Good condition. It's most definitely Very Used. The best I would describe it is Fair condition. Oh, well....at least I didn't pay very much.

Quickly captured my interest and attention and held it throughout. This writer knows how to keep your attention with her suspense full type of writing. If you like being around or knowing the Amish and Mennonite people you will love this book.Or if you just want to know more about these people you will love this book.

I have read romance novels for decades. When I found myself flipping past the love scenes and violence, I knew it was time to find books that were filled with love and inspiration. I saw the Hallmark movie An Uncommon Grace and decided to read the book In a single weekend I read the entire trilogy.Logan Parker finds himself in Ohio on shopping trip with his interior designer fiance. While driving, he finds himself drawn to take a fork in the road that leads to a farm for sale. He feels drawn to it and buys it as a writers retreat. Little does he know that buying that farm sets events into motion from the past that will impact not only his life, but the lives of many others.Widowed Hope Schrock is fearless about using all of her skills to provide for her family - cooking, cleaning, sewing, and her farm management skills. Her farm management savvy was ignored by her husband and her sect suggests she just stick to housekeeping. But she finds a way to persevere.The ending is a powerful lesson about forgiveness. And this book is a great ending to the trilogy.

As with prior books in this series, It's a blend of Englisch and Amish. Logan, our hero. Is totally out of his element in Amish county, but the beauty and peaceful feeling he gets from the area and sweet Amish neighbors makes him trade his high profile New York like for that of a farmer.Hope, recently widowed, wants what's best for her children. She also wants to be able to support them. Working for the new Enchisch man seems to be the answer. Especially when he allows her to manage the farm.Falling in love was the easy part, hiding it from each other, and the rest of the world, was the hard part.There's a second story woven around Logan and Hopes story. Logan's neighbors. Is there a connection between the families?We also get to visit with old friends from the first two books. Love, love, love Levi and Grace!

I would recommend this book who love reading about the Amish community, a great love story, faith in God, interesting turn of events and a great ending!

This novel could be almost a "Trilogy" on the Amish people in Ohio. If you have read "Hidden Mercies" (Claire) and "Uncommon Grace" (Grace), you will find they reappear in this "Fearless Hope" (Hope) book. Serena Miller uses these women as additional characters in telling the story of a young Amish widow (Hope) as she struggles with earning enough money to support a young family. Sa the same time, Serena introduces with each of these books an "English origin outsider" who gets hooked on the simple Amish lifestyle. A very quick read, but told from the standpoint of each character's thinking and actions in the story-lilne.

Generally, I am not an Amish Fiction fan but I have read all three from this series and have very much enjoyed them. The main reason that I did not give this 5 stars is that there seemed to be no spiritual conversions in the two main characters - Hope and Logan. There was no realization of the sin in their life, no desperate need for salvation and no real spiritual change. I just wished for more for them.

I loved this story!! One can expect to always read great books by this Author.. the characters were outstanding and the description of the tornado was right on. I always look for novels by Serena Miller as I can count on the story being good.

I Loved the 1st book from this 'series' and also enjoy the second…. so imagine my disappointment with this one:just couldn't finish it. Gave it to a Christmas Bazar where English speaking were going in Porto… other titles from Serena B. Miller were sold... but at the end of the day this one still was there... hhuummm…

Great Trilogy. I was gripped from book 1
