Hope Ladley shows up at the Stauffer farm in a cart drawn by her mule, Hattie, and few personal belongings. Wandering across the state of Texas, she goes where God leads her.The grieving farmer, his motherless child, and pregnant sister receive more than a hearty, homecooked meal. Hope's cheerful disposition, common sense, faith, and loyalty infuse them with the essence of her name.
The question lingers in all their minds whether Hope will stay or be off on a new adventure, scattering like a dandelion gone to seed. Even she wonders when the Lord will move her to help another family.
At times I've read a book by an author that I've loved, only to find disappointment in their other offerings. Cathy delivered a great book both times, and I'm looking forward to reading more of her work. You won't go wrong spending your hard-earned dollars on this author's novels.

I just loved this book, Susan. I couldn't get over how creative the author was with making Hope get all her idioms mixed up, but still having them make sense. This was a fun story, but as always, Cathy makes it meaningful as well. Enjoy!
I haven't read her recent books but all of them sound great. I think I'd love her heroines. Thanks for the review! I'm glad you had a nice Christmas. :-)
This is a great book! Your review should tempt those who haven't read it yet:)
Blessings,

I've never heard of her, but her book sounds interesting. Thanks for featuring her!
Hi Carla -
Thanks for the testimonial on this book. Like you, I marveled at the author's ability to dream up all those fractured phrases.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Hi Jess -
I recently gave my Mom one of her books, and she's devouring it. I can always tell when a book hits the target. :)
Have a great day!
Blessings,
Susan
Hi Karen -
I hope some of the readers will pick up at least one of her titles. They won't be disappointed.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Hi Kristen -
I came across her name here and there, but had no idea what she wrote. A friend gave me several of her books, and I'm totally hooked.
Blessings,
Susan :)
I've not heard of Cathy, but this sounds like a great read. It's fun when an author delivers excellent writing time after time.
Happy New Year, Susan!

Hi Jen -
I hope you'll pick up one of her books. I haven't seen them in our Christian bookstore, but maybe they have them where you live. Amazon or CBD will most likely carry them.
Blessings,
Susan :)
Excellent review! This sounds like something I will have to pick up the next time I am at B&N!

I find the cover rather intriguing too!
