A Secret Hope (Paperback)

"Every family has secrets. And secrets destroy families." A Secret Hope tells the story of three women with secrets. Rachel who furtively gave up her child for adoption at birth; Becca, a former beauty queen whose carefree behavior belies her inner turmoil; and Marina who finds God and searches for the truth about her past. As the women's lives intersect at a scenic inn beside a lake, an escaped convict's plot and a cancer diagnosis bring them to a crisis. The truth will come out. But will the truth set them free? Written from a Christian worldview, A Secret Hope takes the reader on a suspenseful journey with three women characters who each battle their past and present difficulties and the secrets they've kept from each other. The book also explores the complicated relationship between mothers and daughters who are very different people. With the characters busily remodeling a lakeside inn and a criminal on the loose, A Secret Hope provides plenty of action and excitement. Vicki Huffman, who as an editor has helped improve the works of many writers, has finally brought that expertise to a work of fiction of her own. A story that was years in the making is now in print. Readers say that the wait was well worth it.
