Passages of Hope is a wonderful addition to Barbour Publishing's Doors to the Past series. I am thrilled that it has introduced me to another talented new-to-me author! This book is a dual-timeline story. Gracie McNeil lives in present day Philadelphia in the home she recently inherited from her grandmother. Olivia Kingston lived in the house in the mid 1800s, using it as her family home, her dressmaking shop, and as a station on the Underground Railroad. Emotions run high in both timelines, and the author skillfully helps the reader empathize. Both timelines have tension that keeps the reader highly engaged, among those is wondering who is behind Gracie's worries that she will lose her grandmother's house and who is threatening the Bella Vista area station houses. Passages of Hope focuses on the importance of family and the willingness to accept help when it is offered and needed.
I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of Passages of Hope from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own. I most highly recommend it.
