Description:
What do
Brigadoon, saris, epic laser tag games, and Jesus have in common? Hope. She’s a
Christian with a passion for life and a fascination with Jay’s heritage. He’s
an Indian with a fledgling interest in learning about the Hope within Hope.
After reading Noble Pursuits with my friend Jessica, I was more than happy to
agree that Discovering Hope be our next book to read together. Neither of us
were disappointed with this second installment of the Rockland Chronicles.
One of my favorite things about Havig’s
books is that they are down to earth. Her stories are about ordinary people
with their everyday problems. She has a talent for making the mundane, everyday
things seem very interesting.
This book is about Hope, a girl with a
strong faith in God despite the fact that she lost her brother in a car
accident the year before. While at college, she meets Jay, a young man from
India. So begins a wonderful friendship.
One of the things I most appreciated
about this book was Jay’s struggle to accept Hope’s faith. It wasn’t easy for
him, and it wasn’t quick. Too many books make it sound so easy, but often it is
a long struggle.
The romance in this book, like all of
Havig’s books, is sweet and based on friendship, not just gushy feelings. I
love the way she balances the friendship and the romance so well in her
stories.
There were some sad parts to this book,
but it made it really, really good. I don’t have a single complaint about this
story.
I highly recommend this book to those
who like romance that is based on something more than feelings, stories about
everyday people, and authors who are not afraid to let their faith take center
stage.
