Summary: it was not the best book i've read
Comment: I haven't finished this book, but I do know that it is not the best I've read. I find it boring because it seems that the same thing repeats over and over. Maybe I should finish it, but I don't know if I want to.
Rating: 5

Summary: Good Hope for Improvement
Comment: Lisa Wingate tells the story of a young woman, discovering herself after a devasting tornado rips through her hometown of Poetry, Missouri. A woman named Jenilee Lane goes through the journey of finding her strengths and weaknesses for the first time. Her once sheltered life is turned upside down, forcing her to start over with the grieving townspeople of Poetry. For the first time, she gets to know her neighbors, she previously had avoided. This was especially true when she rescued a woman named Eudora Gibson, who's life, along with her grand-daughter's, was in danger after the distruction of her home. Wingate shows how humans level with their neighbor after surviving life threatening events. Often they will share a sense of be thankful for what they still have, and forget the conflict they had before. At the end of the novel, the reader is encouraged to embrace oneself, having the courage to face any one of life's chalenges.
Wingate forshadows the transformation our main character will go through with the metaphor of a moth shedding it's cacoon. Jenilee realizes something essential for her future journey, which is, "If not for the struggle....it would be a creature without strength, unable to fulfull it's purpose." The main theme of this novel is that with every conflict we encounter, we grow stronger if we want to. Jenilee lives up to her life long pressure of living up to her mother, and does so through her ecounters and events which occur after a tornado hits the small town of Poetry, Missouri.
I stumbled upon this novel, and was surprised by the author's style of writing from the first page. The one thing which kept me interested throughout the whole book is Wingbate's simple and to-the-point plot. I have read many books which tend to focus too much on painting the picture for you. In "Good Hope Road," the reader is able to use their own imagination the create the characters and scenery for themselves. Also the plot was easy to understand and follow along, without struggling through meaningless detail. I give "Good Hope Road," written by Lisa Wingate, four stars because of the authors technique of sending a message of self improvement through the story of an ordinary woman named Jenilee Lane.
