Kaki Warner's Miracle In New Hope is a fantastic read. Honestly, I hated to put this book down and finished it in two sessions. Set during the Christmas season in snow-packed Colorado, Daniel lost his wife and son during the Civil War. He took a job dynamiting for the Railroad, where a blast left him with a jagged scar on the side of his face. Somewhat scary in appearance and needing time to heal emotional wounds, Daniel keeps to himself in the small cabin outside of New Hope. To pass the time, he crafts furniture. The only bright spot in his life is the woman he sometimes catches a glimpse of when he ventures into town. A pretty face, Lacy is haunted by her own demons. And when Daniel begins to hear Lacy's deceased daughter speak to him, he and Lacy, along with Lacy's brother, set out on a quest to either find Hannah or prove Daniel has lost his senses.Miracle In New Hope is one of those stories that grabs your attention and doesn't let go. I sympathized with both Daniel and Lacy's emotional losses and couldn't read fast enough when they embarked on their journey to find Hannah. Every time they came upon a settlement or a new clue, I found myself hoping for Hannah to appear and run to her mother. And the romance that blossoms between Daniel and Lacy is sweet and poignant. Whether at Christmastime or Christmas in July, Miracle in New Hope is one story you're sure to enjoy.
