Passages of Hope by Terry J Haynes is a dual timeline Christian fiction romance novel. Gracie McNeil has recently inherited a house from her grandmother in the historic neighborhood in Philadelphia. Unfortunately, there is some family jealousy that prevents Gracie from rejoicing over her inheritance. Gracie also has many heart aches from the past, including her mother dying during her birth. With a dual timeline this book switches back-and-forth between Gracie and Olivia Kingston. Olivia is a station master for the underground railroad. She does not share the details of her work with her doctor husband, Douglas. However Douglas is understanding and seems to support Olivia‘s work. It is extremely dangerous for Douglas to know of her work.
Gracie discovers a secret room in her grandmother's house. Her neighbor, a good friend of her grandmother's connects her with her grandson who is able to help with the history of the house and many of the fine details of registering the house as a historic landmark. However Gracie finds herself trying to start a business, as well as settle herself in the new area. Will Gracie be able to accomplish that? Can Olivia continue to help those passing through the underground railroad? Will they be found out? Will Douglas trust her and her work?
This dual timeline novel was a fantastic read. I found myself enthralled going back-and-forth in time. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review. I recommend Passages of Hope by Terry J Haynes.
