Having Hope

Kit Matthews is a recent convert who's counting the days until Adam Bridger comes home from his mission—until a lecture on Romania's orphans stirs an undeniable prompting to serve. Three months in Brasov change everything: she falls in love with abandoned children, introduces a serious young medical student to the gospel, receives a surprise proposal, and learns her parents are divorcing. Warm, funny, and faith-filled, this is a clean LDS romance about trusting the Spirit, resisting comparison, and finding hope when the 'perfect family' proves out of reach.

• A clean love triangle with real spiritual stakes—choose the boy next door in Utah or a marriage proposal (and a mission field) in Romania.
• Set in the orphanages of Brasov, Romania—a vivid, unexpected backdrop for an LDS romance.
• Tackles hard family realities—divorce and clinical depression—while keeping a light, funny voice.
• A convert's-eye view of feeling like a 'spiritual infant' among lifelong members, and finding her own worth.

“Even this scar makes you more beautiful, because it reminds me of your faith; how hard you've struggled, and how much you've overcome. Don't compare yourself to anyone else. You are who you need to be.”

Perfect for an LDS young single adult or adult woman who loves clean, faith-promoting romance about testimony, service missions abroad, and temple marriage.
