Karen Kingsbury continues her immensely popular Red Glove series with Hannah’s Hope. Teenager Hannah Roberts is shocked to discover that the powerful politician she’s always called Dad is not her biological father. She convinces her mother to help her search for her real father, a military pilot who they discover was presumed killed in Baghdad. But Hannah refuses to accept this news, and writes a letter that garners national attention and just might lead her to her roots. Fast-paced and infused with grace, Kingsbury’s latest is another affecting tale. Best of all, the series is a call to service Kingsbury concludes each book with an inspiring letter that encourages readers to get involved with community improvement projects with themes tied to the book. Now that’s holiday spirit. Amy Scribner is celebrating the holidays with her family in Olympia, Washington.
Valiant Women is a vital and engrossing attempt to correct the record and rightfully celebrate the achievements of female veterans of World War II.
