Celebrate Lit Blog Tour: Unending Hope by Cindy Kay Stewart

Book: Unending Hope

Author: Cindy Kay Stewart

Genre: Historical Christian Romance

Release Date: July 29, 2025

As WWII expands across Europe, members of the Circle of Hope are drawn deeper into the struggle to survive in the face of overwhelming adversity.

April 1940. Nazi Germany carries out a devastating invasion, trapping Americans David Jensen and Natalie Thompson in Norway. Determined to use their medical skills to aid the Norwegians, David and Natalie embark on a harrowing journey to treat the injured and evade the Nazis.

Natalie, a dedicated Red Cross worker, values deep relationships. Fearful of settling for a shallow marriage, she broke off her engagement to David several years before. But she never stopped loving him and spending time working together in Norway plays havoc with her heart.

David, a charismatic and confidant doctor with the Red Cross, desires to advance his career and rekindle his relationship with Natalie. Even though she once rejected him, he believes she is the only woman for him. But years of keeping others at arms’ length guarantees that winning Natalie back will be the biggest challenge he’s ever faced.

The saga introduced in Abounding Hope continues in this inspiring second installment of courage and devotion.

Readers of Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale and Lee Jackson’s After Dunkirk series will love this book.

Christian Historical Romance, especially those based during War Time, are a favorite genre of mine. Unending Hope by Cindy Kay Stewart is Book 2 in the Circle of Hope series. I read Book 1 in this series and have been anticipating this book release.

WOW, this storyline is so amazing and engaging. The setting is Norway in April 1940. The main characters are David Jensen and Natalie Thompson. They are both working for the Red Cross in Norway after the Nazi's invade. Natalie and David were once engaged, but Natalie broke off the engagement. They both have made great careers for themselves, David being a Dr. with the Red Cross. They also have never had the flame for one another completely distinguished, as they both have feelings for one another. David has always believed Natalie was the only one he ever really needed in his life. The book really tugged at my heart with the LOVE story between Natalie and David. Also, I really LOVE how they were both Medical workers with the Red Cross. The book was very strong on Historical Facts and takes the reader back to the time period of 1940 through the words of the book. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian Historical Romance, especially during WWII times. AMAZING BOOK!

More from Cindy

Those who love learning about bygone eras through fiction, will enjoy escaping to WWII Norway and France in Unending Hope, Book 2 in the Circle of Hope series. This novel follows the adventures of former boarding school classmates who vowed to come to each other’s aid in times of crisis, and WWII provides plenty of trouble for these diehard twenty-somethings to work through. Abounding Hope, Book 1 in the series, is a friends-to-lovers romance, and Unending Hope is a second-chance romance. The novels are sequential to the timeline of WWII.

As well as struggling to safely navigate their responsibilities, the major characters in both novels seek answers to their needs and problems, which can only be found by embarking on a spiritual journey that’s just as climactic as their physical adventures.

I love to research and dig up true stories I’ve never heard about or seen before and then share the most interesting ones through the lives of my characters. Bringing history to life is an adventure for me, and keeping my stories historically accurate is a goal I always strive to meet.
