Hoping for Treasure

By Bettie Boswell

Description:

A few months after Ginny and Scott's marriage begins, tragedy strikes when a miscarriage dashes their hopes of starting a family. As Ginny seeks comfort through a manuscript about her great-grandparent's unlikely post-WW 2 romance, she discovers secrets about her family and the Woodson House's hidden room. Ginny found the manuscript about her great-grandmother's romance hidden in a secret compartment in an old wooden desk, along with poems about Missy's life after the Civil War. When researching her musical, Ginny wondered if Samuel and Missy's romance led to marriage, but how did her grandmother come into possession of the poetry? As she and Scott read through the story, they find some comfort until Ginny's teaching position is threatened, if a tax levy doesn't pass. Scott helps campaign, but finds his own tenure threatened by the distraction. Can Scott and Ginny survive the trials that face them in their young marriage?

Book Takeaway:

Overcome the past, hope in the future

Why the author wrote this book:

This is the third book in a trilogy. It gives conclusion to several romances that were started in the other books. I experienced several miscarriages and wanted to offer a path for those who have gone through that event. They are not alone. The main character, Ginny, has some similar traits and experience to me. In a fictional sense I used what I knew to write these three stories--ON CUE, FREE TO LOVE, and HOPING FOR TREASURE.
