“Hope Ladley drifts about the Texas farmlands like a dandelion “wishie”—helping out wherever she’s needed, then moving on to the next place God sends her. But when she and her mule, Hattie, stop at the Stauffer farm, Hope’s life takes on a drastic change. This time her heart gets tangled up as hopelessly as does her tongue on the endless string of quips she constantly misquotes (with strangely accurate results).

Jakob Stauffer farms his land while sheltering an abused sister, raising an adorable little girl with a big fear of the dark, and grieving his deceased wife. Hope’s arrival creates seemingly chaotic changes in his lifestyle, while somehow smoothing out the rough spots and righting all the wrongs in his world. By the time she fulfills her “pact” with him, he’s far from ready to let her drift out of his life.
It’s been a long while since I so thoroughly enjoyed a book. Cathy Marie Hake paints characters so real they nearly walk off the page. Hope Ladley, with her uneducated speech and wise heart, is genuinely funny, relentlessly loveable, and completely unforgettable. Forevermore is one of those wonderful stories you hate to see come to an end.
Definitely one for the keeper shelf!

“Very inspirational romance with a touch of action. I found it to be a little goody-goody and less interesting than Hake's usual work. It was good, though.”

“This was one of the most enjoyable reads I've experienced! Hope Ladley is a delightful character with a most-fitting name. This book had it all, drama/conflict, comedy, romance, and wonderful life lessons throughout. It grabbed me from the first chapter; and, as I neared the latter third of the book, I COULD NOT put it down till I finally finished at two in the morning! Though the ending may be predictable in a sense, there are more unpredictable storylines along the way; and, the journey to the more predictable part is so wonderful, it is well worth it. Reading this book put a smile on my face and joy in my heart :)”

Yes | No“One of my all-time favorite recent reads with loads of humor and just the right amounts of romance. The ending is bittersweet, but manageable. The protagonist in the story makes the entire book breathe and dance.”

“I LOVE Cathy Marie Hake! She is an AMAZING author who tickles your funny bone and tugs at your heartstrings at the same time! I didn't like this as much as Fancy Pants (I'd grown rather attached to Big Tim) But it was amazing, nonetheless. ”

“Cathy Marie Hake has done it again! She has written a wonderful book with such a cute and exciting story. She has such a great sense of humor and brings the characters to life. Have you ever read a book that the characters just stayed with you long after you closed the book and you found yourself wondering how they were doing. Well, this book will certainly do that. I love the story line, the characters and everything about the book. I truly commend Cathy for writing such heartwarming and humorous books.”
