A tragic accident. A mother in mourning. Can a second chance rise from the wreckage?

Marlee Foster’s life was just getting started. She couldn’t wait for the return of her husband from deployment. After all, he’d be there just in time for the birth of their daughter. The welcome home party is full of joy, but on the way home, tragedy strikes…

When Marlee loses her husband and daughter, her friends and family do their best to heal her broken heart. But painful reminders of a future she’ll never see haunt her every day in the small town. Her only hope at a second chance is to leave it all behind…

As she sets out on a soul-searching adventure, the mourning widow wonders if the wilderness will give her hope for a brighter future or if she’ll forever be chained to a devastating past. During her journey, Marlee is about to learn that love has a funny way of coming back to those who need it the most…

The Flight of Hope is a heart-wrenching contemporary romance in the vein of Nicholas Sparks. If you like emotional journeys, strong-willed heroines, and second chance romances, then you’ll love HJ Bellus’ touching tale.

Next stop on the Flight of Hope - a second chance.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

It's an amazing story of second chances for people that don't believe in them or don't feel like they deserve them. Marlee is in morning and nothing can take away her pain, nothing can give her the relief she is grasping for and nothing can make her forget her grief.

"I'll never ever forget the man who was my first love and my only love who gave me everything. He was and always will be my best friend." Bentley and Marlee have been friends since they were young. They grew up together and they grew in love together. They made it through high school, they made it through Bentley's basic training, his deployments but nothing would prepare Marlee for losing it all.

Marlee falls into a dark place, and runs. She runs from everything to only find everything she needs to heal in a small town in Idaho.

Love Heals.
I'm ready for my second chance.
Ever wonder why we find our prized possessions in the darkest times of our lives?

She finds her heart again. It's an uglycry and not just once oh no, HJ Bellus had me crying several times throughout this book. She's going to make you believe in second chances, she's going to make you believe in forgiving yourself, she's going to make you believe that following your heart is the only way to go and it might break but it can be put back together. It can be put back together by a little boy talking about wieners and nuts.

Torn up - - - - there will be spoilers! A little bit much.

Oh my god. My eyes hurt so much... It stings. Awful :-( Not the story. It’s amazing and beautifully written. I love these realistic stories where they overcome personal hells.
I cried a little and my heart broke for her, when she lost her first husband, Bentley, but it was the second situation that really got to me.

It was heartbreaking to know he had a number on his days. It really tore me apart and the last few chapters....... wow! I’m crying again just thinking about it while writing this. It hurts my heart. But it’s a beautifully sad story. I tugs at your heart. Makes you feel human. Same worries and troubles we all have. Even though it’s heavy in the subject category, it has an underlining humour that lifts the topic at hand. But I think that needs to be done. Death is hard. It’s gut wrenching.

Only - why did Caleb never marry? I thought he might hit it up with Maddie, but no. I’d really like to read his POV. I hope it comes. Because he says when Marlee asks about his football dream, it was over, but like there’s more to the story...

Enjoyable!

This was a good read up until the halfway point. Don't get me wrong, I liked how Marley got her second chance and the family she found it with. I just felt that, that part of the story was rushed. In one chapter Jed and Marley are having coffee and she enjoys the fact that there is no conversation between them, just comfortable silence. While in the midst of the next chapter you come to find out that they did this daily and a few weeks have past. This continues on for the the rest of the story. Each chapter can be weeks later, even months, and then Marley will mentions things that apparently have happened, we just don't get to read about it. This makes it harder for me to feel the connection.

Overall, I liked the story and and thought the writing was great.

I knew going in this would be a tear jerker, but I still was not quite prepared for how much of an ugly cry it would be. This book has all the feels. I'm not a believer in recapping a story, so I'll just say this. Bellus wrote with such depth of emotion it sucked every tear out of me. I finished this book after midnight and went to sleep. Or at least I intended to. But all I did was lie there and think of Birdie and what she went through, her life, her joys, her struggles, her pain, her happiness, and what she gained in the end. And as I write this, it still is with me. Talk about a book hangover. I'm either going to strangle H J or hug her the next time I see her. I haven't decided yet. What I do know is you must read this book. Grab a box of tissues. Make that 2. You'll need them. #SuperUglyCry #SecondChances #MustRead #TopReadof2017

Tearjerker romance

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 16, 2019

NO SPOILERS...

4.5 star rating.
If you're like me and love tearjerker romances that breaks your heart while reading then this is the one for you. If you're an emotional person, then better have that tissue box ready.
The author created this whirlwind romance novel that tests your faith in love. It's an amazing romance story.
There are very few editing needs. As minimal as it is, you wouldn't be bothered by it and it definitely doesn't take away from the story.
I'm a glutton for sad romance stories so this was right along my line.

HJ Bellus is a new Author to me ( where have you been all my life). The Flight of Hope is a beautiful book of Love, Loss and self strength. There was not one feeling that did not process through me during this reading. I LOVE and Hated ( in a good way) this book from the beginning to the end. I fell in Love with EVERY character in this book. ( hoping for a brother spinoff) .
Found myself a new favorite author .

If I could Give It 10 Stars I Would

THE FLIGHT OF HOPE by Heidi Jo Bellus is hands down the best read of the year for me.
Don't get me wrong, I read lots of books and absolutely love them but THIS book by far goes in my top 10 all-time favorites. Many books are written for entertainment value but THE FLIGHT OF HOPE feels real. It was an emotional ride and when it was over I wanted more. Have tissues ready for this one.

If you haven't read it you need to One-Click it and spend some time with it. I promise you won't be sorry that you did.

TEAR JERKER TO END ALL TEAR JERKERS

Reviewed in Australia 🇦🇺 on February 20, 2019

Verified Purchase

You may think you've read some tear jerkers in the past; trust me you haven't. This wonderful story spanning years and a lifetime of events for Marlee. The first of HJ Bellus I've read, it took me 3 days (a lifetime in Ginger Reading Ninja book time), mostly because I had to keep stopping due to uncontrolled ugly crying. An involved detailed story that has you living Marlee's life from the first moment - and therefore her loves, her triumphs, her hotties and her tragedy.

Marlee loves Bentley from the moment he took a fish hook from her hand as a child; and he loves her right back. It was always them with no one else in sight......until it wasn't.

My heart broke again and again and I loved every minute! I've already bought another from this great author; but I might have to wait a bit before reading - I have know idea if it's going to be the same but I plan to fortify myself just in case.
