I am reviewing a copy of Hope Anyway through Revell and Netgalley:

When we are in the darkness, whatever that means to our own lives and stories,  we believe we are always going to feel this way.   We feel as if we will never move past the difficult feelings in the time of struggle We fear the darkness, and for good reason. But it is in the darkness that new life begins.

In Hope Anyway Leanna Tankersley  reveals the darkest chapter in her own story with We fear the darkness, and for good reason. But it is in the darkness that new life begins.   

In a Stanza of Hope Anyway Leanna gives this as one possible way of describing Hope:

“/Maybe holding the cord looks calm and tender. Maybe holding the cord is a simple text or call saying, “Checking in.” Maybe it looks more like snapping the cord real hard to get someone’s attention on the other end and to remind them of who they really are. Maybe it looks like not taking no for an answer. Maybe it looks like a weighted blanket Amazon-Primed to the front door. Maybe it looks like all of this at different times”.   Hope Anyway.

If you have lost your faith, your family, your health, your home, your security, your business, or your very self, Leeana wants you to know that you are not alone or forgotten. You are not doomed to stagnation or stasis. You are not worth less than you once were. Against every last odd, you can hope anyway.

If you are looking for a book that reminds you of what Hope truly is, I highly recommend Hope Anyway!

Five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
