Hope Ladley was a sassy and free young woman. In Hope’s mind she was like a dandelion, going wherever the wind blows. Realistically of course, she knew it was the Lord who guided her steps. And who now guided her to Jacob Stauffer’s farm and family. 

Jacob Stauffer didn’t know what to make of this strange woman and her mule. From her tattered dress to her hat-wearing mule, Jacob had already ruled out that he was in no need of help. But glancing over at his much pregnant sister, Annie, Jacob knew that he had no other choice but to hire extra help. 

Konrad Erickson didn’t deserve to be treated like an old ranch hand. If he had his way he would be running the whole ranch instead of starving at a less than mediocre farm like he was now. Since Jacob wasn’t sending him enough money, Konrad was definitely ready to take it up a step and if that didn’t work, consequences for Jacob and Annie would be great. 

FOREVERMORE, by Cathy Marie Hake was a funny and enjoyable read. The main character, Hope, was quirky, sassy and a take charge kind of woman. Her character was so different than the norm so it was very refreshing.  I didn’t quite feel a love connection between the two main characters, so it was quite surprising at the end when feelings were divulged and confirmed. Cathy Marie Hake is a great author and I look forward to reading more of her in the future.
