My Thoughts on A Gateway to Hope

A Gateway to Hope is a wonderful novel! I do confess it has taken me longer to read this one than most of the other books I’ve read lately. Mainly because there are a lot of nuggets that I’m tucking away and then reexamining when the time comes.

James is self-absorbed. He was dealt with what he believes to be a bad hand and he’s set out to make it work out to the best for him. I don’t see that he really cared about what anyone else felt or experienced as a result. That is until Neka comes into his life. Nikhol is a wonderful Christian girl that he befriended and sought out her company.

But Neka is nine years his junior and not someone most people could see him settling down with. But maybe she’s just what he needs?

They have a friendship to base everything off of, but is it enough to spend the rest of their life together? Can they convince their families that they really are getting married?

Neka has a very close relationship with her sisters and parents.

When she leaves without telling them and then springs being engaged on top of that things start to happen and fast. Before the sun sets on many days the family has all arrived and major company buyouts and changes are taking place.

I’m not in the business world but I see this as a huge power play. Eventually, someone is going to miscalculate something and things won’t go as planned. But who will suffer in the end? And will things all work out for good?

Great read. I recommend this book and am now going to check out more by this author.
