Forever Friends (Hope Springs Series #3) Book

2.5 stars. I really like these characters, and especially the friendship that binds them together. I just wish the plot had more that bound *it* together. A loose, uneven collection of stories of each woman separately, and a specific trial each is walking through. The story sings when the women interact with each other, walking with each other through fire, or at the least, through uncertainty, and this book needed more of that. At its best, the conversations these women have, open handed, open hearted, sharing joys and sorrows, and leaving room for grace and growth are what make me want to be a member of the Hope Springs group.
