Revived Hope by Kathleen J Robison is a prequel book to the Bay Town series, also written by Kathleen J Robinson. Kathleen J Robinson is a new to me author, so I was excited to read this book. 

Melanie Thompson is a single mother to a wonderful daughter. She is trying to get a new business, Bridal Services, up and running, but has obstacles in the way. Melanie realizes that the success of this business will also be the success of overcoming mistakes that have haunted her since Youth. Tragedy strikes twice and Melanie and her Dad begin to think that she might need an alternate plan to make her business successful. She is determined to make things happen. Will Melanie listen to God and follow his path for her? Will Melanie finally overcome her past mistakes and look forward to Victory? 

WOW, the Christian message in this book is VERY clear! We all want success in life, but God's plan are better then our own. Revived Hope is only 120 pages long and a quick read, but a VERY powerful message. I appreciate how Melanie is striving for the best for her and her daughter and accepts the fact that her plans might not be the best plans. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who needs encouragement and hope and for those who love Christian Fiction! FANTASTIC BOOK!

Kathleen J. Robison is an Okinawan-American. Born in Okinawa, raised in California, Florida, Mississippi, and Singapore. Her travels are the inspirational settings for her stories. She and her Pastor husband have eight adult children. Seven are married, blessing them with fourteen grandchildren and counting. The diversity of their 31 family members provide the inspiration for more lively characters than can be imagined. Her husband grew up in the streets of Los Angeles raised by a single working mom, and that life provides fodder for many of the conflicts of her characters.

Tackling difficult life’s trials with God’s strength are the central theme of Kathleen’s stories. She hopes to inspire her readers to trust God and with His strength, weather through and rise above trials and tragedies. If you like suspenseful stories with a thread of romance, you will enjoy Kathleen’s Bay Town Series

 

More from Kathleen

In Revived Hope, the prequel to Shattered Guilt, it’s one year earlier. Melanie Thompson races through life’s challenges while navigating the trials of being a single mother, a budding entrepreneur, and a woman of faith, all with threats of danger.

Our past doesn’t define us, as Melanie learns, but it definitely frames who we become. Thankfully, we have a gracious God who uses all of the good and the bad to bring us to a place of communion with Him…desiring His will for His glory. And ultimately, it’s always for our good.

I love my character Melanie, and I hope you will too. I’ve spent so many years getting to know her that it was fun writing this prequel. I enjoyed writing about her past and introducing you to her family in California before the move to charming fictional Bay Town in Shattered Guilt. When I wrote of Melanie’s relationship with her dad, I laughed, I cried, and I left my heart in the book…in a manner of speaking.

But Revived Hope is not all sweetness and heartache. Things get pretty testy when Melanie tackles villains head-on and sometimes all alone. Often the world encourages us to do it all, and Melanie tries. Although tragedy strikes too many times, the lessons she learns strengthen her faith and trust in the Almighty.

Lastly, Revived Hope teases with a hint of romance but sets the stage for Melanie’s love story in Shattered Guilt, Book 1, Bay Town Series. I’m excited for you to meet Melanie and her family as you root for her in all her harrowing escapades.
