Hope Springs

By: Kim Cash Tate

Narrated by: LaQuita James

God’s plans for three women—and the small town of Hope Springs—may be bigger than anyone could have imagined.

Janelle Evans hasn’t gone back to Hope Springs for family reunions since losing her husband. But when she arrives for Christmas and learns that her grandmother is gravely ill, she decides to extend the stay. It isn’t long before she runs into her first love, and feelings that have been dormant for more than a decade are reawakened.

Becca Anderson is finally on the trajectory she’s longed for. Having been in the ministry trenches for years, she’s been recruited as the newest speaker of a large Christian women’s conference. But her husband feels called to become the pastor of his late father’s church in Hope Springs. Will small-town living affect her big ministry dreams?

Stephanie London is married to a doctor in St. Louis and living an ideal life. When her cousin Janelle volunteers to stay in Hope Springs and care for their grandmother, she feels compelled to do the same. It’s a decision that will forever change her.

As these women come together, they soon recognize that healing is needed in their hearts, their families, and their churches that have long been divided along racial lines. God’s plan for them in Hope Springs—and for Hope Springs itself—is bigger than they ever imagined.

“Kim Cash Tate draws us into a world where the dreams, desires, missteps, and matters of the heart we discover mirror our own. She is a master at crafting characters who make you forget you’re reading fiction. By the end of Hope Springs, you’ll feel as if you’re cheering on members of your extended family.” —Stacy Hawkins Adams, bestselling author of Coming Home and The Someday List

Uplifting

Another heartfelt story of family love, redemption, grace and transformation. Kim has a way of uniting community and culture while educating the audience at the same time. It’s always a pleasure to take the journey.

Awesome book

Loved the characters. The reader voice was way different from the reader in Faithful and Cherished, that it took a while to adjust to it. But she also did a good job.

Awesome

Great storyline. Enjoyed it, and loved seeing how the Lord worked in a through each of the characters. Would love a sequel!

Lovely

I really enjoyed this story & I love these characters. I enjoy getting lost in their everyday Christian journeys. I was so happy when Grandma daughter & granddaughter finally came But I was sad when the daughter Gwen didn’t forgive her mom.Her Mom died & she still wouldn’t come. So sad. I was also excited forJanell & Corey.

Great Reminder

Although, personally, I was not impressed with the narrator (though I’m sure she’s a better candidate than myself), I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It brought back memories of gatherings at your grandmother’s, going to her church, and family dynamics (even when it’s not pretty). To me, the author did a phenomenal job sharing the different facets of Christianity (being challenged in our faith at times, but counting on scriptures for the vast promises of God; Christian walks at different maturity levels; the power of prayer and humbling one’s self). I would recommend this book to others...can’t wait what my Book Club Ladies have to say about this one...
