As the truth comes into focus, Oriana must ask What kind of art does she want to champion? What kind of wife does she want to be? And how can she move into the next chapter of her life with honesty, hope, and beauty?

Oriana Coleman has been an outstanding art broker and is known for her exceptional eye. Her hard-working husband Reese has always supported her and they have a long-lasting shared love. After she discovers artist Larry in a small Colorado town, she begins an unbelievable and difficult journey to verify the artist's talent. The other plot involves her husband and his fight against cancer. I found both stories very interesting and this has become one of my favorite books in the series. I highly suggest you read this wonderful book.
Review of advance copy received from Author
Secrets and drama in the art world and a woman who escaped an abusive relationship. As Oriana comes to terms with her role in the art world, she and Reese deal with some heartbreaking news of their own. Oriana and Reese struggle with their personal issues but she has continued to champion women in the arts and it continues with Jasmine, the true talented painter. Wonderful addition to the Coleman series!!

In the Heart of Hope by Katie Winters we continue to visit the Coleman Family. Katie Winters addresses serious social problems, such as spouse abuse, cancer, and one’s choice to keep their integrity over money. It is the coming of age for the mature adults and a self examination to grasp what is truly important in life and going after it!
