Sometimes, when dreams come true, they fall short of expitations.
This second book is an improvement over "A Dream for Hannah". The struggles of newly married and expectant parents Hannah and Jake Byler seem to multiply at every turn. With a cold Montana winter closing in, Hannah faces both physicial and mental challenges that are over whelming.
There is deeper character development and the story line is more consistant. The descriptions were clear and believeable. The dialogue seemed a bit wordy...more

"A Hope for Hanna" was an interesting read, but, to me, it was not as enjoyable as the first. I found Hannah hadn't really matured, and her seemingly unending whining was annoying. She seemed more worldly (in attitude) than Amish in this book, not being as submissive or faithful as I would expect. I wanted her to have grown more in both attitude and faith.
The storyline is interesting, and I really enjoyed the insight of the ways of the Amish church. Mr. Eicher does a wonderful job with his descr...more

I give this book 3 stars for a good story. It was a nice read, though it didn't grip me as much as I had hoped. A Hope for Hannah is the first Amish book that I've read, and I enjoyed reading about their culture and lifestyle. Hannah seemed so young for a bride, and I was happy for her as new, exciting changes and additions came into her life, and sad for her when heartache visited her cute, little, log cabin.
The way they handle their church was a little odd, I must admit. I don't understand how...more

As with book 1, this was not my favorite of Jerry Eicher's work. Again, Hannah and Jake have the real to life personalities but the plot isn't the best.
Hannah and Jake are newly wedded and expecting their first child, everything that they could ever hope for. That is, until a terrible tragedy interrupts those hopes. When that tragedy strikes, they both feel as if God is against them and not for them. While I enjoyed this one more than book 1, I still didn't like the way the plot wasn't upbeat l...more

While Jerry Eicher isn't one of the best authors of Amish fiction I've read,some of his novels like this one are sweet and interesting. His characters can be a bit flat,but the plots tend to be pleasant.
