A New Hope (Thunder Point)
By: Robyn Carr
Rating: 5 of 5
The latest entry in the Thunder Point series by Robyn Carr, “A New Hope” is primarily the story of Ginger and Matt. Ginger was introduced in the last book as a young woman who is struggling to overcome her grief at losing her infant son to SIDS only one year before. When this story begins, Ginger has been able to find her feet and is starting to make a new life for herself. Matt is the younger brother of another resident in Thunder Point and is an agricultural scientist and a farmer. He is still in a state of anger over the ending of his short marriage. The story is how these two individuals learn to deal with their previous lives so they can learn to make a new one together.
There are two transition stories that are also included. The last novel was about Grace and Troy and in this story, their story continues. Their house is close to being finished so that Grace’s very rich and very ill mother, Winnie, will be able to move in with them. Her private nurse, Lin Su and Lin Su’s fourteen year old son, Charlie, are introduced. I predict that Lin Su will be one of the main characters in the next entry in this series – perhaps involved with a new next door neighbor.
Ms. Carr is able to once again breathe life into her characters. They have good times and bad, good characters and some not so great flaws. Thunder Point ends up sounding like a place where real people would live and a place I would like to visit. I really enjoyed this story and look forward to more in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book via the publisher.
