My thoughts on A Living Hope
“A Living Hope” by E.C. Jackson is a compelling tale of love, loss, and redemption, exploring the complexities of relationships. The story revolves around Sadie Mae Cummings, whose seemingly perfect love story with childhood sweetheart Kyle takes an unexpected turn when she becomes entangled with the charismatic college football running back, Lincoln. The narrative skillfully navigates the dynamics of a second chance at love, portraying the challenges and emotional intricacies involved.
One notable aspect of the book is its adept handling of the second chance trope, weaving a narrative that delves into the aftermath of a broken relationship and the arduous journey of rebuilding dreams. The author tactfully addresses the sensitive topic of relationship and domestic abuse, shedding light on the emotional toll it takes on individuals. The characters, including Sadie, Kyle, and Lincoln, are portrayed in a relatable manner, making their motives and actions understandable even in less pleasant situations.
The thematic elements of faith and religion are strong contributors to the story, adding depth and meaning to the characters’ experiences. E.C. Jackson invites readers to reflect on the enduring power of love and the challenges that come with restoring fractured relationships. In essence, “A Living Hope” is a thought-provoking and heartfelt romance that resonates with readers by addressing themes that are all too common in real life.

About E.C. Jackson
E.C. Jackson began her writing career with the full-length play Pajama Party. Thirty-one years later, she adapted the play into Pajama Party: The Story, a companion book to the second book in the five-book standalone Hope series.
Jackson’s favorite pastime is reading fiction. She enjoys taking the journey along with the characters in the books. That also led to her unorthodox approach to story writing. Her vision for each book she writes is to immerse readers into the storyline so they become connected with each character.
“The Write Way: A Real Slice of Life” is the slogan on her Facebook author page. She feels that if every person reading her books feels connected to the characters, her job is done.
