Cynthia Ruchti’s ‘A Fragile Hope’ Blog Tour and Giveaway

About the book:

Josiah Chamberlain's life's work revolves around repairing other people's marriages. When his own is threatened by his wife's unexplained distance, and then threatened further when she's unexpectedly plunged into an unending fog, Josiah finds his expertise, quick wit and clever quips are no match for a relationship that is clearly broken.
Feeling betrayed, confused, and ill-equipped for a crisis this crippling, he reexamines everything he knows about the fragility of hope and the strength of his faith and love. Love seems to have failed him. Will what's left of his faith fail him, too? Or will it be the one thing that holds him together and sears through the impenetrable wall that separates them?

















My Thoughts:

What pops into your head when we hear the word FRAGILE? Delicate, breakable, dainty, flimsy, and scores of other adjectives. Since I had two preemie babies, I think of a preemie baby as fragile. In Ms. Ruchti's new book A Fragile Hope, Hope is anything but fragile, it is resilient, strong, and unbreakable. Hope is all that Josiah has to hang onto, even when hope seems far off he finds ways to hang on. Karin doesn't physically speak in this book, but I found out about her through Josiah and her dad, Stan. The pain was real and difficult to watch. I'm a daddy's girl and just the thought that I could cause him pain breaks my heart.
There are many layers in this novel and each layer touched me on an emotional level. I cried, I got angry, I even laughed. I finished this book three days ago and I am still thinking about these characters.
Highly recommended!
