The infomation from Francine Rivers website:
"The first part of an unforgettable epic family saga about the sacrifices every mother makes for her daughter and the very nature of unconditional love. On the eve of the First World War, fiery Marta Schneider leaves Switzerland and her difficult childhood behind, determined to find a new life on her own terms. Barely out of her teens, Marta is haunted by a devastating loss. Marta becomes a hard working domestic who has little time to dwell on what might have been. Instead, she draws her strength from what could be. Then, Marta meets Niclas Waltert, a man just as determined as she to forge a better life in a new place. Marriage and motherhood bring both joy and heartbreak, as Marta must surrender her long-held ambitions for the sake of her husband and children. Only the strong survive and Marta is determined to raise a daughter as strong as she. But as Hildie reaches young womanhood and another war is fast approaching, those hopes become too heavy a burden for Hildie to bear. Born with a heart to serve others, Hildie pursues her calling as a nurse, something Marta can't understand. Marta's years of hardnosed parenting have left Hildie still hungry for her mother's love...and now for her mother's respect. Amid the drama of WWII, Hildie falls in love and begins a family of her own. She wants her daughter, Carolyn, never to doubt her love--but the challenges of life conspire against her vow and the only person who can come to her aid is the person she remains so desperate to please: Marta, her mother.
With hallmark touches of brilliant prose and gripping characterizations, Her Mother's Hope is a rich, moving epic about faith and dreams, heartache and disappointment, and ultimately the resilience and tenacity of love."

What a beautiful story! I have all of her Christian themed books and this is by far the most touching! I could not put it down ... it really inspired me - It stirred my heart and I found myself looking at my own life, my relationship with my toddler daughter .... It reinstalled the need for prayer in my life and surrendering to the Lord!
WOW - you will never be the same!

With such a fine track record it must be hard to keep on producing books of this quality. Another wonderful book by Francine Rivers... And after what seemed like a very, very long time - she does not disappoint! It may not quite equal 'Redeeming Love' and 'The Scarlet Thread' but it's a strong entry nonetheless.
Her Mother's Hope is a tough read in places, but a powerful look at family relationships and how they can affect our whole lives. Christian fiction books don't get much advertising in the U.K so here are some more, in different genres and for different ages, that are worth a look:
Godstone: The Kairos Boxes
The Scarlet Cord
Amrach and the Paraclete
Treasures of the Snow (Classics for a New Generation)
Mandie: Secret Tunnel 1 (Mandie Books)
Hall of Mirrors (Mallenford Mysteries)
A Kingsbury Collection: Where Yesterday Lives/When Joy Came to Stay/On Every Side (Three Novels in One)
