Hope Between the Pages by Pepper Basham is a wonderful hope-filled escape to two lovely destinations. The dualtime novel is primarily set in and around the magnificent Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, built by George Vanderbilt in the late 1890s.

This novel is brimming with bookish goodness as both the historical and contemporary plots feature books, one in the opulent Biltmore library and the other in a historic bookstore. Both stories feature strong women characters who experience hope and love that sustains them through significant challenges.

Each features a love story that felt sincere and had me cheering for the couples. Sadie, the primary character in the historical storyline and family matriarch, is so fully fleshed, I had to Google to see if she was based on an actual person (I don't think she is.)

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.
