review 1: An Amish woman, Hope Yoder, looses her husband in an accident. She has 2 children and a baby on the way. An Englisch man, Logan Parker) moves into the neighborhood and hires Hope to clean and cook for him. The Amish community really doesn't approve of this. This book has many sub-plots (twists and turns). Logan has never been to Ohio, yet he feels very at home there. When he visits a neighbor's home, he feels like he has been there befoe and when he attends he church, he feels like he recognizes some of the words. Logan has a fiancee and she hates Ohio and the home Logan moves into. Will their relationship last? The reason Logan decides to stay in Ohio is that he is a writer and is suffering from "writer's block." He goes into an antique store and ... morefinds a manual typewriter. The owner of the store will not let him buy the typewriter, but will let him come to the store and use it. At the store, many locals come and talk with Logan and tell him their stories. This becomes one of his next books...a different book from anything he has ever written. This was a good read and the only reason it didn't get 5 stars is that it gets too "preachy" in several places.
review 2: Would be a 5-star if it wasn't so much religious proselytizing!I almost stopped reading Fearless Hope several times,because of all the eye-rolling religious proselytizing it is absolutely full of!That I just could not stop reading it,despite all the preaching/witnessing says a lot. Being an ex-evangelical Christian maybe I was able to overlook it and not let it annoy me as much as it might some other readers,just be forewarned~ there is a lot of it in this book!For lovers of Amish/Mennonite fiction/romance this was an amazingly well written and engrossing story,that really has a lot of interesting cultural information about the different sects of Amish and Mennonites.I also enjoyed the historical information about the women who flew many planes in WWII [WACS]which was something I never knew.Some very touching WWII stories shared with Logan while he is writing a book.Absolutely loved Hope,her children,Logan and several supporting characters.As I said,I was not able to stop reading this book.If non-Christian readers are able to overlook all the 'god-talk',this is really a great story. less
