Tracie Peterson's "Beloved Hope" focuses on the character Hope Flanagan who survived the Whitman Mission massacre. She suffered more than her other sisters and throughout the story the reader will get a feel of how rape truamatizes a person. She has built a wall around her to help her survive but she doesn't understand how some of the other women who suffered the same fate and survived have gone on with their lives. Hope lives in fear. She is afraid of life. Then an Army lieutenant, Lance Kenner, asks to be her friend, to enter her reclusive world after finding her in the jail ready to kill the Cayuse Indian responsible for many of the killed and raped at the Mission.
Can Hope find healing or will the fear and hate eat her alive? Can she trust in God again? Can she trust a man in her life? Read to find out how Hope handles these decisions. I received this book from BethanyHouse Publishers to read and give my honest opinion.
