"It's quite embarassing but I actually cried in this book. This book's main theme is hope. Hope that God can help, that he will help. I loved every single bit of the books, especially the pictures, I want a husband that will love my daughter as much as Mike did for Hannah in this book."

“Enjoyable.”
— RT Book Reviews“A moving family drama novella.”
— Barnes & Noble, editorial review“This charming story will live long in your memory.”
— Examiner.com“In Hannah’s Hope, Kingsbury raises her own bar of excellence. Truly touching, a wonderful cast of characters, and a tribute to the members of the armed forces.”
— Tracey Bateman, author of Leave It to Claire" Liked it in the sesne that it is like a Pay it Forward premise except it's red gloves. This story was about reuniting with a long lost dad who was now in the military. Of course he was sent on a deadly mission and would they ever get to reunite kept it "captivating" until the end....Delilah. "
— Monica, 2/19/2014" Easy and uplifting to read. I would read more of Karen Kingsbury "
— Karen, 2/11/2014" This last in the Red Gloves series is as poignantly beautiful as the earlier ones. A short Christmas novella that tells the story of Hannah's search for her biological father delivers a powerful message of hope and belief. "

— Mina, 2/9/2014" Nice quick Christmas read "

— Aletha, 1/18/2014" I enjoyed reading Hannah's Hope by Karen Kingsbury but not as much as Sarah's Song. Easy reading, single plot and as always a good ending. Barbara "
— Barbara, 12/18/2013" Nice easy read but not real deep. "
— Kroissv, 12/16/2013" Very touching...very sweet! "
— Melanie, 12/11/2013" Another light read. A bit like "Jane of Lantern Hill." Overall a nice light story. Not that long or deep, though. I wouldn't recommend spending money on it but getting it from the library would be fine. "
— Cassondra, 12/11/2013" I absolutely loved this book i think it was the best one in the series! i guess its because i'm such a daddy's girl!! but it really touched my heart! i almost cried:( "
— Regan, 12/3/2013" This book was fairly easy to read and I didn't feel very realistic. It is supposed to get you to have faith but I guess I didn't feel that it got the point across. Cute story. "
— Michelle, 10/9/2013" I like these short Kingsbury Christmas stories--the Red Glove series. "
— Alice, 9/10/2013" A sweet story, no real surprises and a good pick for something to read between heavier (both figuratively and literally) tomes. "
— L8blmr, 12/13/2012" This book was just ok. I think it must be for young adults and teens. I may try one of Ms. Kingsbury's more adult audience books sometime. "
— Marlene, 9/30/2012" I read all of the Red Gloves books together condensed into one book but cannot find that on Good Reads so will add them individually. This was probably my favorite of the four stories. "
— Elaine, 2/1/2012" This is a Christmas story. A fast read that is a nice mushy feel good story. Kingsbury is a Christian writer so there is a faith/prayer aspect. "
— Carol, 1/4/2012" This is a simple and inspiring story of how the simplicity of the people around can what actually push others to happiness. Hannah is a rich unhappy girl who found the light towards happiness from her simple chauffeur, who gave her the wisest advice ... to have faith in God. "
— Yzobelle, 4/15/2011" started this last spring and had to get it back to the library before I was done. Just got it back again. "

— Debbie, 1/18/2010" Nice enough story of a lonely yet driven young girl who finds out a 15 yr. old that the man she called "dad" was not her biological father. It seems everyone has a life changing experience except the mom...business as usual for her! "
— Pam, 11/28/2009" I also loved this book by Karen Kingsbury. It's always nice to have hope for something no matter what it is. And that's what I learned from this book. "
— Jennifer, 9/29/2009" i think it is one of my favorite books. it is the story of hope,trust and belief. Hannah knows that Christmas is a time for gifts and presents. but soon figures out that miracles do exist. "
