Hope Thompson is new to the big city. However, instead of finding fulfillment in her work and service, she is bitter and struggles with herself, with God, and with her love for Stan. Sequel to the bestselling Not My Will, this dynamic story is one of searching, discovery, and peace.

This is an excellent story and the sequel to a favorite of mine, “Not My Will.” Hope was told by a friend that step-parents could never really love a step-child and that adults only loved truly one time, and those words stuck with her for years and made her believe herself unloved.
After a job goes wrong, Hope finds herself desperate for work. Her time at the employment agency coincides beautifully with someone asking for a live-in cook/maid, and she takes the job as a temporary bridge to one in her field. However, she doesn't expect it to be at an old mansion in the inner city and connected with an inner-city mission program! This kicks off a completely different life journey than she expected to follow and sparks her re-evaluation of everything she previously believed.
The setting is contemporary to the publishing date of 1950 and I loved all the vintage details as well.
Five stars...plus I loved seeing another glimpse of the characters from Not My Will.
