About this ebook
A charming historical romance about two young people whose discovery of fossilized bones leads to a love that echoes through the ages—from the bestselling author of The Songbird of Hope Hill
“A novel rich in friendship, faith, love, and the resiliency of hope. A story to lift your heart and warm your soul.”—Cathy Gohlke, Christy Award Hall of Fame, author of Ladies of the Lake and This Promised Land
Since an accident left her father unable to work, Jennie Ward has taken on the demanding task of inspecting the isolated seven-mile wooden pipeline that supplies water to Cañon City, Colorado. Despite her responsibilities, Jennie harbors dreams of going back to school and longs for something even simpler: a friend. One day, in a moment of impulsive and seemingly hopeless prayer, she asks God for companionship.
Her prayer is answered almost immediately with the arrival of Leo Day, a paleontology student searching for ancient bones buried along the ridges of the wild Arkansas River. Despite her long workdays, Jennie agrees to guide Leo in his quest.
As Jennie navigates her burgeoning friendship with Leo and her unwavering loyalty to her father, she finds herself torn. Leo, who longs for his own father’s approval, could change all Jennie knows. It’s undeniable that God has intertwined their paths, but to what end? With so much at stake, what does He truly intend for the preacher’s son and the linewalker’s daughter to uncover?

Hope's Enduring Echo is an engaging story with developed, realistic characters. I liked the characters in this story. The story is told from Jennie, Etta, and Leo’s point-of-view. The transitions were smooth, and it was not confusing going from character to character. It was interesting reading about the search for the dinosaur bones as well as the water pipeline made from wood. The puppy was a delightful addition to the story. I wish there had been an epilogue set a year later.

Loved reading the inspirational and captivating story. While Samantha is walking the pipeline for her father, Samantha waves at the train with a bone in her hand, but when Leo sees the bone, it looks like a dinosaur bone and gets off the train to talk to Samantha. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read riveting romance story.

I enjoyed reading this gentle, but deep, story about hope and trust in God, in the face of difficult circumstances, it was also about answered prayer and the birth and growth of love.
