5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly amazing love story
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2017

This book is a double love story--it starts with a romance that isn't what it seems leaving Olivia feeling alone and undeserving. But with new friends she finds God's forgiving love and is able to withstand the troubles that come.

Best Christian book I've read since Grace Livingston Hill's books. (which I started reading about 8th grade and still like to tread mow and then).

4.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Storyline
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2015

Finding hope by Elizabeth Diaz has a wonderful storyline that takes the reader completely through A - Z. By that I mean there is almost nothing the reader is left wondering about at the end of the book. I say almost nothing because there are a couple of questions my mind still has regarding Olivia's parents. Olivia is a very sheltered girl stuck in a home environment that she can't wait to leave. So she & a her best friend decide to move together & share an apartment. All starts out well between the two but things begin to decline as the story unfolds. Olivia loves her job & works with a longtime guy friend who is like a brother. She enjoys working for her boss too. A new hire comes on the scene and things start heating up. I won't go any farther with that relationship so not to give too much away. Olivia has a strained relationship with her parents but her grandma Nonna is the light in her life. Olivia was not a church goer but things & an "Art" friend in her life began directing her to begin attending a bible study where she meets some soon to be special lifelong close friends. Now you will need to read the book for yourself to find out all the twists and turn this story will take you through which include a lost relationship, death, new quirky friends, shattered dreams but also fulfilled dreams. I gave this 4 rather than 5 stars due to the writing style. It seemed like I was reading in "monotone" & I almost quit the book before finishing it. I did push through and can tell you the storyline was worth it. I just wish it didn't feel like such a flat read. Since this is a first book for Elizabeth Diaz she is sure to be developing her writing style and hope she will be able to overcome what seems like just reading the facts. Thank you Elizabeth for writing this story. I did enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I cried with the characters when times were bad and then again when things were good.

I liked the fact that the author addressed some very touchy areas, such as an older man with a younger woman, a married man with the younger woman (although she did not know), and unmarried single pregnancy. And it doesn't end there life does go on, when she finds Christ and realizes her life is forgiven through Christ it isn't all peaches and cream. I have to say I could hardly put this book down, I cried with the characters when times were bad and then again when things were good. I think Elizaeth Diaz is a very good author.

What an amazing novel that exemplifies the redemption we have as children of God!!! So moving and an incredible read. We are never to far from His grace and every situation is an opportunity for Him to show us jus that. This book offers hope through Olivia to many people walking through extremely difficult times, even as a result of our own choices. Never lose hope. Great read and so relevant.

There were plenty of twists and turns in this story to keep the reader engaged. The emotion and perspective of the main character is well thought out. There was some background on some of the characters that was not explained, but perhaps that comes up in other books.

Some books take you so far in book and you wonder what happens next. Not so in this book it filled in all of it. Olivia had a mother who never gave her a kind word. After a few mistakes in her life she meet Brad who seen good in her. They had hardships in there lives but they still believed that Jesus would be there with them and for them. This is a very good read. I really enjoyed reading it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Out of ashes .......

At 19 years old, Olivia was tired of living with her parents. Her mom only showed Olivia disappointment in her & constant criticism while her dad just stayed out of her mom's way, never standing up for her. Olivia moved out & shared an apartment with her best friend. Then she met Jake at work & they became an item. How did Jake convince her to throw out her lifelong morals? Is he really the man he portrays? When Olivia's abandoned by her parents, roommate & Jake she doesn't know where to turn. Read how she meets Brad, how he begins to love her & infant daughter Joy. See God turn her heart toward Him. This is a wonderful story of a new life in Christ, the ups & downs.

Tells the real story of ordinary people who are real Christians and how a sinner feels when they are forgiven. The author manages to tell it all while she entertains with a good story.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in Australia on October 31, 2015

This book was poorly written. The characters were one-dimensional, the problems, although real, were not dealt with in a real way. The romance was not plausible; the story was predictable; and the relationships were archetypical.
