I received a free copy of this book for review from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group, for my honest unbiased opinion. ( )

My Hope Is Found, the third book, is a wonderful ending to The Cadence of Grace series. It is a stand alone book, if you have not read the first two, you will not be lost and will still enjoy it. Once I start reading a series I can't wait to read the next installment, and Joanne's was no exception. When I read the previews, I was really worried it would not end like I wanted.

Gideon and Lonnie had such a rocky start to their marriage. Thinking that all of that was behind them, they are returning home for a quick trip to check on her sick mom. After finding out the letter from her dad was a ploy to get her home, they receive devastating news. Gideon's former girlfriend claims they are married/

After having Lonnie and his son literally torn from his arms, Gideon is expected to start a new life with Cassie. Lonnie and Jacob return back to the Bennett's farm, where Jebediah and Elsie will love and take care of them.

Thinking that Gideon was the same as dead to her, Lonnie realizes she has to move on with her life.
There is a new preacher in town, Toby McKee. He is a gorgeous Scotsman who you can't help but fall in love with.

I just don't get it when some one married says, I couldn't help myself, I just feel in love. You can't love two people at the same time! Well, after reading My Hope If Found, and getting into Lonnie's character I get it. Her case was different, because she was certain Gideon would never come back and be a part of her life again. She still loved Gideon so much. But Toby was such a good Christian man, who loved her and the children, she found her self slowly falling for him.

I found myself smiling at parts, and crying my eyes out at others. So make sure you have Kleenex handy. I enjoyed this book so much, and I recommend it. Great Christian love story, with a very different ending. ( )

This is the third installment of Cadence of Grace series. It took so long to read because I just could not get into it. I finally decided it might be better if I read the first two in the series. I did that over this past weekend. I feel you must read the entire series to truly understand the emotions of the characters in this last book. Wonderful story of young people and their trials when trying to manage life without God. As each of them turn to Him you can see their character grow and strengthen despite some pretty awful circumstances they find themselves facing. Highly recommend the series. ( )

I thought this book was in the middle. I liked it. I think I would understand it a little bit more if I read the second book before this one. I think it would make sense a bit more. It still good with out reading the second book in this series. I will let you decide for yourselves.


The book focus on Gideon and find the faith. Lonnie need to learn to deal with her own problems as does Gideon. You also see a friendship and others in on it. I do not want to give anything away so I will leave it here.

This is the third book in the Cadence of Grace series. Before reading it, I had to borrow books one and two from our public library. They are so good that I read each one in a couple of days. We follow the journey of Lonnie and Gideon as they find faith and see that God can truly make something beautiful from increasingly painful circumstances. They each have to make some heartbreaking decision as they wait and trust God to work out His will for their lives. Just when the reader thinks that all is well, the author slips in a surprise that seems impossible to take in or resolve. There is a cast of supporting characters, each important to the story to showing us the grace of God and how to live selflessly, yet each character has realistic struggles. A very good read. ( )
