A Fragile Hope

One of my 'rules' for reading and reviewing is that I have to like the main character-it's hard to like a book (especially a romance) if you can't stand the hero. \\r\\n\\r\\nA Fragile Hope is the exception to that rule. \\r\\n\\r\\nJosiah Chamberlain is forced to re-evaluate his life when wife Karin is involved in a fatal car accident, and ends up in ICU, unconscious. And she's apparently pregnant . . . after they've been told Josiah can't have children. This is the slightly frustrating cause of the Big Misundertanding, something that could have been sorted out early in the novel. But Josiah is the man who always has the right answer so it never occurs to him that he hasn't. \\r\\n\\r\\nI didn't like Josiah, but I kept reading out of some kind of macabre fascination. Would Mr Intelligent get a clue? And when?\\r\\n\\r\\nThe other reason I kept reading was because of the writing. There were so much great writing, so many great lines. I appreciated the way the Christian themes were woven in, strong but not overwhelming or out of place. Overall, recommended for the outstanding writing, thought-provoking Christian themes, and a great character-driven story. \\r\\n\\r\\nThanks to Abingdon Press and NetGalley for providing a free ebook for review.
