If you were a refugee, would you be able to move on when your loved ones have all perished?

Jill lives with her parents and brother in Greenwood. She longs for freedom, far away from the Seers Dynasty and their tyrannical regime. She works in her father's practice as a nurse, and this brings her some joy in her life - a simple but meaningful life.

When Jill's homeland is attacked by Cerynean soldiers, her dream of finding happiness shatters into a thousand pieces. Jill and her brother are summoned to defend their homeland, but the war is short-lived. Latania falls, and all hell breaks loose.

As soon as the Cerynean soldiers march into the streets of Greenwood, Jill's father brings her to safety. Aboard an old boat, the Sabrielle, she can flee, but her parents and brother are left behind. Tormented by pain and agony, Jill sees no way out…

Sam, a foreign soldier of the Freedom Pact, lost and miles away from his unit, becomes her salvation. Onboard the Sabrielle, they both realise that they can only survive if they work together. Hunted by the Cerynean army, they begin their journey with only one goal: to escape Latania.

JOURNEY OF HOPE AND TEARS: an unusual story about the true meaning of love, set in a dystopian world, reflecting our own challenges as humankind.

Strong woman character

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 28, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book is an emotional journey with a strong female character who is realistically resilient. Jill accomplishes so much in this story while still maintaining a realistic portrayal of feelings of a real human being going through difficult times. Jill is separated from her family after they are attacked. Fearing her family has been killed, it seems as if she is just reeling from that loss and she meets Sam. Sam is a soldier who is injured and befriends Jill. They both end up traveling together and defending themselves from those attacking them along the way. They’re relationship and friendship becomes stronger and more loyal as time goes on in the story. I could really root for Jill and I wanted her to live and to succeed. I was super curious what was going to happen to her because she is so centered on her family it seems she doesn’t know where to go from there but she finds another person along the way and becomes a stronger person in the end. The ending is great as well it left me with my mouth wide open in shock I was not expecting it at all. I loved this book, it took me on on a special journey. Pick this book up!

I really enjoyed this book! I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into, but it's definitely worth the ride. This story is about Jill and how she is getting through a war. She's separated from her family, and she meets Sam. They both then work together to get to his unit. We see Jill grow throughout the story. While she was aware of what was going on as she's a medic, she realizes that she didn't understand the full extent of the war until she's in the fight. You will be rooting for her until the very end. There's romance, hope, tears, war, and so much more. I really would recommend this story. The ending blew me away, and I think it's the perfect one for this story. Jill is a strong woman in the beginning, but becomes even more so at the end.

A Story of Survival and Hope

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

Journey of Hope and Tears is set in an alien land and has multiple themes like science fiction, romance, apocalyptic, and suspense. The author has successfully created a dark and gloomy atmosphere where danger is at every corner. In this uncertain world there is little space for romance or positive thoughts but if you are young and hopeful then things take a turn for the good and magical things happen.

A beautiful and emotional dystopian read...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 1, 2020

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.

The Review

A beautiful and emotional dystopian read, author Dieter Ryckewaert does an incredible job of blending brand new mythology with a memorable cast of characters that really showcase the horrors of war and the pain that comes with loss. Protagonists Jill and Sam are the heart of this story, each showcasing a different aspect of the world the author has created and highlighting the various aspects and impacts that war has on different people involved, from the soldiers on the front lines to the innocents who must witness their lives being torn apart.

The emotional pull of Jill and her story is what really drives this narrative forward in a great way. The relationship between her and her family, as well as the growing relationship with Sam in the midst of all this death and tragedy all around them, help elevate the stakes in regards to the novel’s action and more integral scenes. The author’s ability to craft this whole new world and narrative allows readers to gain a sense of imagery that really showcases the magnitude of the novel’s intense plotline as well, making this book excel above so many other dystopian reads.

The Verdict

An evenly paced, emotionally driven action & adventure/romantic dystopian read. The character growth of this novel is hauntingly beautiful, and the dystopian setting and deep cut in new mythology help this story stand out above the rest in the genre. Author Dieter Ryckewaert’s “Journey of Hope and Tears” is a must-read novel, so be sure to grab your copy today!

A touching story about survival

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

Journey of Hope & Tears by Dieter Ryckewaert, tells an emotional tale about escaping from a war torn country and surviving in the world we live in as a refugee. This story although a work of fiction could easily be true.

The reader is thrown straight into the story with a prologue that allows us to meet the heroine of this story Jill. It also sets the scene and plot, as we witness the bloody casualties that sadly comes with any war. Jill and her family come from a medical background and in the opening sentences we read how they are trying to tend to the injured in the field hospital tents. As the enemy opens fire, the family flee the field hospital and run for their lives. Just as they think they’re safe for a short while in the safety of their home, the terror begins again and so they take what they can and run. The agonising decision is taken and Jill must leave her Mother, Father and Brother behind in the war torn Greenwood, she once called home. Along the way as she flees for her life, Jill meets Sam a foreign soldier. The only way they can both survive is to work together.

This has been written with immense detail. A lot of thought has been put into the plot and character creation. It was easy to become emotionally attached to this emotional read.

Emotional Dystopian Novel with Potential

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 27, 2020

Verified Purchase

Journey of Hope and Tears is an emotional, heart wrenching story that is medium paced. There is a lot of detail. The action holds your attention from start to finish with unexpected turns.
I noticed a few grammar mistakes, but it didn't make any difference to the plot, which keep your reading.
The character development of Journey of Hope and Tears is very good. I immediately felt a connection to Jill as she learns to adapt to her environment. Jill rescues Sam, a Freedom Pact Soldier from his aircraft after he has crashed not far from her. The Chemistry between the two is light and steadily changes as you get deeper into the story.
I would recommend reading Journey of Hope and Tears, as it was a had a lot of emotion, action, and a great plot with a lot of potential to become a series.
