My Hope Is Found: The Cadence of Grace, Book 3

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.

I started with the second book and was pulled so many different ways by the characters, I had to start from the beginning. I love how I couldn't guess the ending... Forsaking your way for God's way. It was a great- relatable picture of “not my will God, your will be done." To trust him because he loves us. I really loved this book.
