As World War II draws to a close, attorney John Richards attends a prominent church solely to rub shoulders with its influential members. Then he meets Lydia, a minister's daughter, and becomes so infatuated he spends hours looking for her name in the Bible. When John tells Lydia he read Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in one sitting, she assumes he's a man of faith and their relationship blossoms. By the time she realizes his ship of faith is in shallow waters, she's too deep in love to turn down his proposal. They raise two daughters through the 1950s and 60s: Katie, the rebel; and Heidi, who wakens to faith at an early age and whose hope, in a surprising way, carries her father through heartbreaking tragedy. With short chapters and down-home storytelling, HEIDI'S HOPE is an adventure in life that begins with a love story and ends with a two-hanky tug at the heart, an adventure you can warm up to, again and again.
