Hope For Tomorrow
Families are a wonderful thing...
But how does a woman navigate being a wife and a mother of four children and keep her marriage from falling apart?
How does a woman continue to hide her attraction for a man who is deeply in love with his wife, her sister?
How does a teenage girl cope with her overbearing grandmother, who refuses to let her grow up and chart her own path?
In Jacqueline Ballard's debut novel that spans three generations, the complexities of the lives in these pages reveal love, loyalty, deceit, infidelity, loss, rape and murder.
The story begins with Olivia giving birth to her fourth child at the hospital with her husband, Phillip wiping her brow. A moment filled with anticipation for the child to be born, but there is an undercurrent of longing by Olivia's sister that will not be denied.
You are taken back in time where you will meet Olivia's mother, Queen as a teenager growing up in church under the watchful eye of her grandmother, Mrs. Jenny Abigale Montgomery. Queen comes of age and faces unexpected challenges that threaten her future.
Darlene enters the story as an innocent child whose married father had an affair with her mother, thus beginning a journey into madness.
Is there hope that these families will prevail?
