A Mother's Hope Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I really liked this book. Didn't know what to read after the last series I finished and totally went the other way. It's a little religious but loved it all the same. "

" This is an adult's Little House on the Prairie--charming, full of folks battling difficult times and persevering, strong women character's and a bit on the simplistic side. I enjoy it although sometimes it felt like a guilty pleasure. "

" Loved this book. Almost finished with Part II, Her Daughter's Dream. Francine Rivers is one of my favorite Christian writers. "

" Another fantasic book by Francine Rivers! It had me hooked by the first page. I'm usually not a huge fan of historical fiction (although this one was based on a true story) and it usually can't hold my attention for nearly 500 pages, but this book exceeded all expectations! Can't wait for the next one!!! "

" Don' t miss this one! "

" There was too much stuff the wade through that could only encourage people to sin. Too much in it was not anything that should be in a Christian book. This is the first half of one book broken into a mini series. "

" I love this "epic" story & she says this is taken from her grandmother's life story. You will laugh & cry & won't be easy to wait for the 2nd book. :) "

" 3 and a half stars. I enjoyed this book, but had mixed feelings about it. I found the characters lack of communication very frustrating. But, I will probably listen to the second one too. "

" I thought the story wasn't too bad, but just fairly predictable. I think Francine Rivers' writing style is just not for me. "

" On loan from Ethel Austhof. Needed something uplifting after "Those Who Save Us". Liked this one better than Part II which dragged. "

" Francine Rivers never disappoints. Great family saga. "

" Great Christian novel about family relationships and how your childhood experiences affect you and your children, Focus is on mother-daughter relationships. "

" It was a very good book, very detailed, including the letters she wrote, it was very sad at points, rough life for all, but very intense. Took awhile to read, very long book. Felt sorry for the girls in this book, they are the ones who were sad most of the time. "

" I loved, loved, loved this book!!! I loved the relationships between the characters-made me realize how we sometimes are so misunderstood in our love. I cannot wait for the next book! "

" This is Book One of this saga. This book takes you from Switzerland, to Canada to the United States. It is an amazing book about relationships, the good the bad and the abusive. I was completely pulled into this story. This book made the rounds at my job, and my family. Loved it!!!! "

" This is a great and sometimes grief filled story about a mother and daughter and there strained relationship. I can't wait to read the second and final book of this series to see how the characters resolve their differences! "

" love the history line of this series "

" I simply could not put down this book from start to finish, it was moving. The family relationships in strong Germanic families, interwoven with the world war situation was perfect. I loved every moment of it "

" Love this book and the sequel. Anything by Francine Rivers is great. "

" I enjoyed reading this book. I did not feel that it spoke of God as much as some of her other books. However, I liked the story line and ended up getting more out of it than I was ever thinking in other areas of life. "

" I can't wait for the sequel, Her Daughter's Dream, to come out this fall. Francine Rivers is such a great story teller. "

" Wow. I just really love Francine Rivers. She is a great story teller! I love that this book has some history wound into it as well. A great story about relationship between mother and daughter during hard times. I recommend it to anyone! "

" Loved it. Can't wait for book 2. "

" This book is just so so on the writing quality, but it was super fast and interesting. It was just the perfect thing to end the summer with and I am dying to read the conclusion of the series to see where it goes. "

" This book will make you analyze your relationships with your mother, grandmother, daughter and others in your family. A very nice job of looking at one family through 5 generations of women. "

" I really liked it. I thought the ending was a little rushed. I'm looking forward to reading the next one. "
