Having Hope

Kit Matthews has spent two years waiting for Adam Bridger, the missionary she loves, to come home. Just as the couple begin rediscovering one another, Kit feels a pull toward something she can't easily set aside, one that carries her across the world to Romania. Her heart goes out to the orphaned children there, and the bond she feels is deepened by her own start in life, having been left at birth. In Romania she meets Marcel, a charming medical student who shares her wish to help the children, and when she invites him to learn about her faith, she has no idea how far that conversation will reach. Back home, troubling news arrives: Adam has become involved with someone else, and her family is coming apart. Kit wonders whether she will ever belong to a forever family, and she must decide whether to build a new life abroad or go back to America and mend the old one.
