"Everybody needs to know and be known by others."
With this debut novel, Mollie Rushmeyer makes a name for herself in the inspirational women's fiction world. When I picked up this Love Inspired novel, I was not expecting a full length novel with a complex plot and tangled up mysteries. As Ronan and Hope hunt for clues among beloved books to a pirate treasure, dodge those who'd try to stop them, and delve into their entwined family history, their discoveries, triumphs, friendship, love and faith will surprise and delight you.
Both Ronan and Hope have tough, traumatic pasts and they must learn to deal with their own version of PTSD. Their friendship and relationship is fraught with self-doubt, but how they overcome the fear and anxiety step by step is beautiful to see. Ronan is so tender, sincere, and thoughtful, even when battling his own issues. Hope is creative, compassionate, and big-hearted, even when she tries to hide herself. Their banter that stems from shared love of books is quite witty. If you enjoy contemporary women's fiction with depth and adventure, you'll absolutely enjoy this book.
I received the book from the publisher via Celebrate Lit Tours and was under no obligation to post a positive comment. All opinions are my own.
