Synopsis
Ruth Teller is a tough-as-nails waitress at a local restaurant. Sara Lynn Hoffman is an uptight, well-to-do lawyer. And Aimee, Sara Lynn s mother, is an opinionated widow who speaks her mind freely and judges people harshly. On the surface, they appear to have little in common, but in fact, they share a house...and more. Together, they are raising a 12-year-old girl named Hope, who came into their lives as an infant and changed everything. Tender and touching, RAISING HOPE is the story of three generations of women coming together to find love and the true meaning of family in the most unexpected ways.

Reviews
The individual stories of three generations of women are interwoven in Willard's heartrending and heartwarming novel. Raised by her aunt and her father's ex-lover--two women poles apart in background and temperament but united in their love for the child they share--12-year-old Hope Teller attempts to make sense of her place in the universe and to reconnect with the father she never knew. Down-to-earth waitress Ruth Teller and wealthy ex-attorney Sara Lynn Hoffman have both put their own lives and desires on hold while involved in raising their beloved daughter. As both these women approach middle age, they reassess their own relationships with their mothers, learning the hard way that letting go is never easy but always necessary. This timeless tale of mothers and daughters and the bonds they share and struggle to maintain or break is enhanced by Willard's uncanny ability to cross generational lines, instilling all her characters with unique and believable voices.
