Lets’ call them my personal classics. I will be featuring a new favorite every week and I hope you will be interested to read and enjoy some as I have.
This week’s pick is….
Her Mother’s Hope by Francine Rivers
I read this book years ago and I have been procrastinating about reading it again because it was such a heartwarming, unforgettable story about the complicated relationships mothers and daughters have and how they perceive each other from different perspectives. This is the first book in a two books series and I really enjoyed reading it.
It is on my top ten list of books I have read by the author and I highly recommend it to all Christian fiction lovers. I am hoping to do a re-read this year and review the book properly but let me not get ahead of myself – fingers crossed!
Have you read this book?
Let me know your thoughts.
Synopsis:
The first in an epic two-book saga by beloved author Francine Rivers, this sweeping story explores the complicated relationships between mothers and daughters over several generations. Near the turn of the 20th century, fiery Marta leaves Switzerland determined to find life on her own terms. Her journey takes her through Europe and finally lands her with children and husband in tow in the central valley of California. Marta’s experiences convince her that only the strong survive. Hildie, Marta’s oldest daughter, has a heart to serve others, and her calling as a nurse gives her independence, if not the respect of her mother. Amid the drama of WWII, Hildie marries and begins a family of her own. She wants her daughter never to doubt her love, but the challenges of life conspire against her vow. Each woman is forced to confront her faulty but well-meaning desire to help her daughter find her God-given place in the world.
