Helpful Score: 1
This is the last in a series about the friendship of a group of women in a small town church and their troubles and support of each other.
This is the third book in Hope Springs series following Hope Springs. In this novel, the author revisits the ladies of Hope Springs Community Church in North Carolina.Â
Each chapter begins with Aunt Dot's laundry advice column written for The Pilot News.Â
Then, followed by a recent account of the personal struggles each of the main characters are experiencing: Charlotte Stewart, Margaret Peele, Beatrice Witherspoon, Jessie Jenkins, and Lana Jenkins.Â
It has been a year since Margaret was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she has successfully completed her chemotherapy, and thankfully, her cancer is in remissionÂ
Jessie and James Senior are still thriving as a married couple and are getting ready to take a two week vacation to Africa in order to fulfill a lifelong dream of discovering their ancestors.
Pastor Charlotte is yet again struggling with her faith in God and is still seeking help from Marion Gordon, a therapist. Additionally, Peggy DuVaughn's grandson, Lamont, is in jail for a robbery charge, and she asks the Pastor if she would visit him in prison.Â
Beatrice and Dick are having trust issues in their marriage due to Dick dealing with family secrets involving his brother and sister-in-law.Â
Lana Jenkins is married to Wallace, Jesse and James' son, and is unhappy with being a young mother and wife and thinking of leaving Wallace and Hope, her daughter.Â
I enjoyed catching up with the ladies of Hope Spring, but I have to admit the narrative for each of the main characters felt long and tedious.
Nevertheless, I do hope the remaining books in this series improve.Â
