Waiting On Hope [Kindle Edition]

T.M. Souders (Author)

Book Description

Ten years ago, Lexie Dodson fled her home in rural Ohio, leaving behind a heartbroken brother and abandoning a devastated fiancé. While chasing her desire of a fast-paced life in the city, and the obscurity of urban life, she is shaken to her very core by an act of violence that leaves her betrayed, broken, and pregnant—and with nowhere to go but home.

Seeking refuge and facing gut-wrenching decisions, she is confronted not only with the past she left behind, but also with a love that never died—a love waiting for something to stoke the flames.

Told from the perspective of four characters, Waiting on Hope will stay with you well after the last page has been turned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gripping tragedy, turns to hope October 16, 2011

By Karen B

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Independent and driven, Lexie Dodson leaves her home in rural Ohio to pursue a photography career in Pittsburgh. She leaves behind a broken engagement to the only man she ever loved. Her family is hurt by her sudden departure.

Ten years later, when tragedy rips her life apart, she returns home--broken and numb. She struggles to recover from being victimized at the hand of a man she knew.

As she learns how to move beyond her pain, she must also learn how to rebuild broken relationships with her family and her former fiance who is still single. He never did move on.

This book gripped me from the opening lines. The beginning of the book read more like a suspense novel as the author carries the reader into the darkness of Lexie's mind after she was victimized. I instantly connected with Lexie's plight and rooted for life to turn around for her. I wanted to see her broken heart and relationships restored. And I was not disappointed.

The author delivers an emotional story in an intense way. As secret is revealed, another is waiting to be uncovered. The author did a superb job of moving the story forward.

I really loved this story and watching Lexie grow as she recovered from a heart breaking tragedy.

Be advised, this book has some strong language and it deals with topics suited only for a mature audience.

By Sasha Nichols

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I told myself I was only going to read a chapter or two of this book and then get a good night's sleep. That did not happen because once I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. The author did an amazing job with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL....EMOTIONAL June 20, 2012

By Belinda

Format:Paperback

I gave this book 5 stars, because it is truly full of raw and true emotions. I like the fact that Souders lets you see all the sides of a rape victim. Especially a rape victim who becomes pregnant as a result. Souders truly goes in depth and lets the reader feel what the main character feels. Lexie is the rape victim who lets you see all of her struggles, fears and how life can be cruel and loving all at the same time. I couldn't put it down.
I can't wait to read another book by T.M Souders.
