About this eBook

Sometimes we’re allowed to glimpse the beauty within the brokenness . . .

Savannah Barrington has always found solace at her parents’ lake house in the Berkshires, and it’s the place that she runs to when her husband of over twenty years leaves her. Though her world is shaken, and the future uncertain, she finds hope through an old woman’s wisdom, a little girl’s laughter, and a man who’s willing to risk his own heart to prove to Savannah that she is worthy of love.

But soon Savannah is given a challenge she can’t run away from: Forgiving the unforgivable. Amidst the ancient gardens and musty bookstores of the small town she’s sought refuge in, she must reconcile with the grief that haunts her, the God pursuing her, and the wounds of the past that might be healed after all.

Where Hope Begins is the story of grace in the midst of brokenness, pointing us to the miracles that await when we look beyond our own expectations.

WOW! Warning, if you read this book, you will cry. Reading Where Hope Begins by Catherine West was a real roller coaster ride. Savannah Barrington is retreating to her parents' lake house. She has lost so much already, but finding out about her husbands infidelity is more than she can deal with. Her son is away at school and her daughter is in college, so there is nothing keeping her from taking some time off to reflect and heal. Catherine West is a master at character development. There are so many wonderful characters in this story I would have trouble picking just one favorite. Savannah's father only has a few lines, but they are funny and very down to earth. I could just hear my own dad saying the exact same thing and having the same reactions. Catherine will have you smiling, laughing and shedding some tears. In my experience (many tears). She tackles some really heartbreaking situations, losing a child, suicide, infidelity, divorce, cancer and terminal illness. I love the way Catherine is able to draw hope out of this darkness. She takes us back to a charming romance and second chances. I received a copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishing through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
