What readers are saying about Hope “This series is amazing! The characters became family!” “Couldn't put this series down! The characters are all beautifully woven together from book to book. Found myself wanting to visit Hope Springs!” “I am so in love with this series! … The characters became real to me.”
I have three great loves: Jesus, my family, and books. And chocolate (okay, four great loves). I write fast-paced, emotional Christian fiction that weaves real-life problems, real-life people, and real-life faith. My characters may (okay, will) experience some heartache along the way, but I promise I'll always give them a happy ending.
Oh! How do you describe such a series that encompasses so many of life's issues and how God meets each in incredible ways with His love and forgiveness. A must read series.
I had ARC copies for many of these books as they were introduced. Each is unique and inspirational with a message for life and definitely worth reading. Not Until Forever . Sophie always thought she knew what she wanted, but when she returns to Hope Springs as her grandmother is dying, she reconnects with her college sweetheart, Spencer who makes her rethink her priorities. She has always wanted her parents’ approval, but they seem to avoid each other and don’t approve of Spencer. A heartwarming story of second chances, and reconnecting with God. Not Until This Moment . Peyton finds the man she thinks is her forever love, but Jared refuses to marry her and won’t tell her why. After their break up, they end up on an annual ski vacation with friends and both re-think their relationship. It takes a return to faith for them to work out their differences. An uplifting book about love and second chances. Not Until You I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book by Valerie Bodden. The themes of redemption and forgiveness were well written and the plot interesting. I enjoyed the character development and the family reconciliations that were addressed. Not Until Us Not Until Christmas Morning Not Until This Day This is a delightful story which addresses some of the problems of Domestic Violence victims. Valerie does a great job of showing how God’s love and forgiveness can conquer any situation. The story and characters are believable and interesting. Not Until Someday What a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Valerie Bodden included themes of forgiveness, God’s grace, and dealing with disability in the plot of this book. The problems encountered were real and well handled, and added a great deal to the book. I would highly recommend this book and the series. Not Until Now Great addition to this series by Valerie Bodden. She incorporates a handicapped woman in the story and her independence which causes some problems for her to work out. The plot also centers on a man who had been living entirely for himself. When the two lives intersect interesting things happen. It’s a great read and you wouldn’t necessarily have to have read the other books in the series. Not Until Then Bethany has a 10 year old daughter and has survived a brain aneurism, but has short term memory loss. Her friend Emma’s brother James, a policeman has come to Hope Springs to recover from a gunshot wound and the loss of his daughter 5 years ago. The plot of this book includes trusting God through loss, and living with disabilities. This is a faith filled tenderhearted book well worth reading. Not Until the End Emma had come through cancer treatments, but has some lasting effects. Owen lost his wife to cancer and with his 5 children moved to Hope Springs and is Emma’s next door neighbor. Through several more tests, his faith grows and his children come through the hard times too. He and Emma grow closer, and she grows close to his children. A heartwarming and uplifting faith filled story about second chances, personal growth and growth in God. I highly recommend reading this book.
Enthralling! A ten book series that introduces the reader to Hope Springs, Wisconsin and the people who live and fall in love there. This group of friends fellowship around their church and become extended family. Each story has a redemptive theme and a blessed ending. Leaves you feeling there is hope for yourself after all. I couldn’t put this series down, I read the ten books in 22 days!
I am so sorry for the Hope Springs stories to end. These characters feel like my own friends, and the lessons they learned went straight to my own heart. The entire series was fun and heartwarming from beginning to end.
If you like Karen Kingsbury, you will love Valerie Bodden.
Faith, hope, love , heartache, sadness, these books have it all.
A must read for all Christian romance fans. You will fall in love with the characters and get angry, feel sad, and be filled with joy through this whole series. A whole town filled with faith, the sermons are so deep and meaningful, makes you want to be at church with them every week.
Valerie Biden is a great writer. Perfect combination of romance, tension and real life issues combined with a very powerful and engaging approach to bringing in answers and encouragement from God’s word.
What a wonderful series of the way our Heavenly Father works between our family, friends and life. I enjoyed reading about all of the experiences between these family and friends. Thank you Lord for giving Ms Borden her gift of writing.

Having each of the 10 books in this series all together is such a blessing. I read them individually years ago and have certainly enjoyed reading them again along with the accompanying book that was just released in 2026
I loved this series. People with real issues that we all deal with. God’s forgiveness and hope. God giving us forgiveness and love for ourselves and others.
