Wow! Just Wow! Hope Beyond the Waves is an absolute amazing read! Heidi Chiavaroli digs deep into the most horrific situations in this dual timeline and writes a story that gripped my heart from the beginning and will stay with me for a long while. Emily and Atta are two young ladies, same family, different generations who loose their home and family by being carted off to the unknown because of family secrets that can no way show their ugly faces within the so called perfect families of these two young ladies. No way can these girls stay in their homes being exposed and left in an unclean state. In 1993 Emily lives with her grandmother to avoid trouble with her father, and in 1916 Atta suffers so much hurt, but is no longer wanted in her home. Will these two girls find the peace and contentment they need during this horrific time in their life?
This is my first historical fiction by Heidi Chiavaroli and it definitely will not be my last! I thoroughly enjoyed Hope Beyond the Waves and the phenomenal writing skills of Chiavaroli. These character fit the story so well with their deep growth throughout the story, creating wonderful personalities, in most, I should say. Emily was a little harder to get to know but I like how she grew to care more for her grandmother as she told Emily her story. I think Atta was a sweetheart, with a feisty personality. Which fit her quite well in dealing with the people there on Penikese island, especially one of the Drs. I learned a lot reading this book. I have never heard of Penikese island and what it was used for. Dr. and Mrs. Parker were special to the island, for the hard work in the healing of the patients. There are many more characters, so much more happening in this book, and that's why you need to check out Hope Beyond the Waves by Heidi Chiavaroli. I always read everything in a book, the author's notes, their thanks, etc, and I found in the authors notes that much of the story and some of the characters are indeed real. How cool is that! This makes this book more interesting and even more reason to check out this special book today. I am happy to give this book Five Stars, and it deserves so much more.
A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255.
