AWARDS and RECOGNITION Winner, EMMA Award for Best Inspirational Romance Finalist, Best Inspirational Romance of the Year, Shades of Romance Magazine Finalist, Reviewer's Choice Award, Romance in Color REVIEWS "Abiding Hope takes a look at faith and the importance of it in each of our lives. . .This is a wonderful story that is sure to make the reader reflect on his/her own spiritual life." -Romance in Color "ABIDING HOPE was a very deep, emotional read. I could not imagine having to bury my only child, or any child for that matter. Ms. Benson did an excellent job of showing the character's sorrow and how it affected their lives. The emotions portrayed did not seem over the top. Instead, they were so real, it was if you were experiencing the loss yourself. There were many times I found myself wanting to reach in and offer a consoling hug and words of encouragement. Kudos to Ms. Benson for such a touching read."--RAWSISTAZ Reviews ABOUT the BOOK Will their marriage survive their loss?
