Hope Springs by Kim Cash Tate

In a small community where everyone is holding tight to something, the biggest challenge may be learning to let go. Hope Springs, North Carolina, is the epitome of small town life-a place filled with quiet streets, a place where there's not a lot of change. Until three women suddenly find themselves planted there for a season. Janelle hasn't gone back to Hope Springs for family reunions since losing her husband. But when she arrives for Christmas and learns that her grandmother is gravely ill, she decides to extend the stay. It isn't long before she runs into her first love, and feelings that have been dormant for more than a decade are reawakened. Becca is finally on the trajectory she's longed for. Having been in the ministry trenches for years, she's been recruited as the newest speaker of a large Christian women's conference. But her husband feels called to become the pastor of his late father's church in Hope Springs. And Stephanie has the ideal life-married to a doctor in St. Louis with absolutely nothing she has to do. When her cousin Janelle volunteers to stay in Hope Springs and care for their grandmother, she feels strangely compelled to do the same. It's a decision that will forever change her. As these women come together, they soon recognize that healing is needed in their hearts, their families, and their churches. God's plan for them in Hope Springs-is bigger than they ever imagined.

Coranne's Thoughts: I wasn't sure about this book when I started- a contemporary book told from 3 different points of view, I was nervous about starting this book.  Although the premise sounded interesting, I am not a fan of multiple points of view and I don't typically read contemporaries.  I have to say- the author blended so many voices in an expert way.  I really enjoyed getting to know all of the characters equally. The problems that each woman faces are realistic and don't feel forced.  The plot moves along smoothly and naturally and each story feels fully explored. This is the first book I have read by Kim Cash Tate, and I look forward to picking up her other books very soon! Celebrate the release of Hope Springs and win a Kindle Fire!
