Georgiana Daniels Shadows of Hope, A Story Of love and Forgiveness


Shadows of Hope by author Georgiana Daniels is a well written faith-based fiction. The story is about the choices people make and the consequences which are left for each person who is affected by those decisions. The author is successful in conveying a theme regarding the actions we take in this life can cause a ripple effect of love and joy or disappointment and misery for others. It does have a Christian belief in some of the characters asking God for guidance in daily life, but the author realistically shows even people of the Christian faith have differing thoughts or belief in Biblical teachings.
In this story, Marissa works each day to help the lives of high-risk mothers and babies with her longtime friend Tristen at a grant-funded clinic. Marissa is struggling with a problem of infertility after the miscarriage of her baby. Her relationship with her husband Colin has changed since the miscarriage and they are not as close. Colin has his own priorities as he is seeking for tenure at the university where he teaches and has a lab for his research. He is worried that his secret affair with a student may become public before a tenure decision is announced by the board. Kaitlyn is an adult student who fell in love with her professor and found herself pregnant even though she was taking precautions. She had no idea he was married.
All of these characters revolve around each other as the story unfolds. The support system between parents and adult children can sometimes go awry when personal beliefs are being imposed on others, regardless of the circumstances. The author allows the characters in this book to come to terms with hard choices and the changes they need to implement for a better life. It is a story about families and forgiveness.
