Gabby knows God is the God of second chances. But can she give one to the man who betrayed her? When she was thrown out of the penthouse she shared with her husband and their sons, Gabby didn’t know if she’d ever find a soft place to land. But after seeking refuge at the shelter where she works, extraordinary things happen as she is reintroduced to God. From the ashes of her marriage comes the House of Hope — a safe haven for homeless moms and their children. But now those ashes of her destroyed marriage are being stirred again. When her long-gone husband’s life hits rock bottom, he reappears and asks for one more chance. And Gabby faces what feels like an impossible choice. Take him back. Or keep moving forward without him. Toward someone new who hasn’t betrayed her. Is God redeeming what Gabby thought was gone forever? Or is He leading her down a different path and giving her something — and someone — new?

"I read this series this summer, and loved them!! I also learned myself that I needed them, and got so much out of them. It was a fluke that I picked up the first one in the library, based on the title. I had no idea it was a series. Very happy to have read this author, and crave more"
— Rachael (5 out of 5 stars)
“This book is an absolute delight. The depth of the faith element, coupled with a well-plotted story, makes for an absolutely winning combination.”
— RT Book Reviews“Jackson’s latest has Gabby continuing to learn key lessons about faith while more is revealed about the mysterious Lucy, a pivotal character throughout the series.”
— Booklist" Good to see a grown up Gabby both in actions and with her relationship with God. This series turned out just like I wanted it to. "
— Barbara, 2/18/2014" This is a GREAT series ... RECOMMEND this to EVERYONE.. "
— Patti, 2/16/2014" I enjoyed the book. But I can't imagine it's the last book in the series. If so, it had a bad ending. There is no closure. The author leaves all the storylines hanging. Otherwise, good book. "
— Tina, 2/4/2014" This was the first book I read by Neta Jackson and it great! I can't wait to read what happened to Lucy. Need to check out this series at the Library see I can read them all. "
— Leslie, 1/31/2014" I wish it wasn't ending! I like how things ended up with Phillip but not with Lee .. "
— Chanda, 1/11/2014" This was a very satisfying conclusion to the House of Hope Series. While I would really, really, really like a Christian author to allow a main character to get divorced, I do appreciate that there were no easy answers to Gabby's situation or the story. "
— Diane, 1/1/2014" I love these books by Neta Jackson. All the "Yada Yada Prayer Group" series and now beyond. They are easy to read, contemporary stories with real issues, I can relate to. This one had a surprise ending. "
