About the Book She stole his heart. He stole her peace. Can hope steal their pain? At the age of eighteen, Lacey Carmichael was a wild girl bent on fun, promised to Jack Carmichael, a straight-and-narrow pastor’s kid bent on the seminary. When her father kicks her out of the house, she runs away from Isle of Hope, turning her back on everything she loves. Now, eight years later, she’s back as a woman of faith, hoping to make amends to the father she defied, the boyfriend she deserted, and the best friend she denied. Only the bridges she’s burned are still smoldering, kindled by an adulterous affair by Jack’s pastor father that damaged his son’s faith. But can a turning of tables—and hearts—lead the way back to “hope” for them all?

ReviewAward winning author, Julie Lessman, has written a truly inspiring and beautiful novel in Isle of Hope. This story reaches out and touches the hearts of its readers, capturing and stealing their attention along the way. Readers will not want to put down this story of loss, hatred, betrayal, but most of all love and forgiveness between two neighbor families, especially two best friends. This story brings to light some of life’s greatest challenges, but with the love of God all can be overcome. I highly recommend this touching and spiritually uplifting story from Julie Lessman and greatly anticipate the next book in this series.
