"Love’s Truest Hope" is a collection of three novellas by Laura V. Hilton, Rachel J. Good, Mary Alford. I truly enjoyed all three.

Two of the three stories, "Plain Redemption and "Bid for Love"involves a mystery. I know these are novella but I still wish "Bid For Love" was a little longer because it left me wanting to know where the missing grandmother had gone! Even with me wishing for a longer story, I think it was a great tale as well as the other two.

While reading "Mission of Love" I am was thinking I am glad I'm not a twin and couldn't get blame because I looked like someone else. I was also thinking, "Wow, this girl isn't like other Amish sisters I have read about."
In all three of these novellas, the characters have to learn to trust God and others.

My favorite of the three is "Plain Redemption" because the mystery is solved and the surprise at the end proving that God can make the impossible happened.

Even though the stories all have some kind of tragedy as the main point of the tale, they are all love stories with a happy ending.

I received a complimentary copy by the authors and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own.
