Hope in My Heart is a collection
of short, heartwarming stories with characters in need of hope. In "Love
Unexpected" a car crash brings commitment-wary Sebastian and career woman
Chandra together. Neither is looking for romance, but those around them see the
potential, and Sebastian and Chandra discover that sometimes love shows up
unexpectedly. Christmastime is the setting for the middle story, "The Best
Gift" Christina desires to lose ten pounds so she can fit into her dress
for her sister's wedding. Jordan wishes her mom would stop trying to marry her
off. And Joshua hopes to be reunited with his ex-girlfriend but eventually
learns that the best gift this Christmas will be the restoration of his
relationship with God. In "Peace and Love" three characters living in
a metropolitan area are desperately searching. Elle, a starving artist, aspires
to become a paid professional. Eric, a divorce attorney, wants to resolve his
issues concerning his parents' divorce. Kristine anticipates finding her birth
mom before she marries Derek. All characters pray their searches will conclude
this holiday season and fill their hearts with peace and love.

My
review:
Three
short stories in one book - great snippets of sweet faith-based Christmas
holiday romance and new starts for those who like their reading on the dash.
These nicely set tales feature characters who have room to grow; men and women
who realize life is bigger than their own little orbits. From the self-centered
personal trainer to the lawyer who works and plays much too hard to notice a
stable relationship has her own desk right outside his office, to the young
lady looking for a job and a woman looking for her mom, there's something for
everyone in Hope in My Heart. Kudos to Ms. Goring. Recommended for readers of
love and romance and belief in persistence.
