One of my all time favorite books! I couldn't put it down and it taught me so much.


I have told everyone I know to read this series by Leisha Kelly!
They are a few of the books I value so much that they are ones that
staying on my shelf to read again.

This is an incredible read that will touch you through and through.
I can't rate it high enough. I would give it a 100!

I can't wait for Leisha Kelly's next book coming out later this year (2007)
and I hope she writes many, many more!

Loved this book.
A family who is homeless and completely without anyone to depend on during the depression finds a friend

Sequel to Julia's Hope - another wonderful book I couldn't put down!

In a time of confusion in the midst of grief, they discovered something beautiful.
Julia Wortham is a strong woman with a strong faith to match. She and her husband, Samuel, rely on God, their creativity, and the love of their friend Emma Graham to provide for their family in the impoverished conditions of 1931.
But just days before Christmas, the Wortham family is faced with a terrible loss - the death of their neighbor Wilametta Hammond, who is the mother of 10 and the glue that holds their family together. In his grief over her death, her husband, George, ignores the chldren and has no will to live. Sam and Julia step in to help, but how can they manage 10 extra children when they barely have enought for themselves?
In the web of emotions and fear, Julia's faith begins to tangle. Why would God take away someone who was needed so much? How can the void of lost friends be filled? Yet as Christmas nears, the grieving families discover the unexpected - gift of hope that will shape them all.

Loved it

Helps you understand what people went through in the early 1930's. Very interesting and a good story line.

Never finished. Well-written, just couldn't get into it.

2nd book in series! I could not put it down. I LOVE this series and can't wait to start the final book. Set during the depression, focuses on the love of God. Leisha Kelly is one my new favorite authors!!!

Second in the series, a stunningly sad book. However, it was meaningful and full of the grace of God. But do read Julia's Hope first.

I, personally, LOVE this author. Her books are remarkable. I would recommend any of her books to anyone. Grace and God's love are ribbons woven through the words and pages.

A great Christian novel. Second in a series. First book is Julia's Hope.
