When I read the description of this book I really was not sure what the pages between the covers would hold for me. I also did not realize this was Mrs. Bartels first novel. The summary simply sounded intriguing and the cover was quite lovely.
I am a sucker for a farmhouse at the end of a country road. However, when I read this book I was in for quite a treat. We Hope for Better Things has a depth and beauty to it that you do not often find in Christian Romance. In fact, I would not simply classify this as "romance" per say. Yes, the book contains some of that. Heartbreaking romance in fact. But it is so much more. I highly recommend We Hope for Better Things and I, for one, am hoping for more "better things" from this author. I will be keeping her on my radar. Somehow she was able to tell three beautiful stories, fully, in just short of 400 pages. There were no wasted words or paragraphs to be found. Each wonderfully written page was a joy to read. Bravo Erin! As always... Love, The Mother
