What a beautiful story! Passages of Hope not only illuminates the fascinating and dangerous work of the Underground Railroad but tells of the longing for family and home. Separated by time, Gracie and Olivia are both intriguing heroines, strong but vulnerable. Terri J. Haynes’s writing brings these women and their trials to life, using a poignant ribbon of the search for belonging to tie it all together. I couldn’t put this novel down!
—Sarah Sundin, bestselling and award-winning author of Until Leaves Fall in Paris
Terri Haynes has written an extraordinary story of family, freedom, and forgiveness in her newest novel, Passages of Hope. The painful aspects of what it means to become family are beautifully knit together with a liberation story from the Underground Railroad in Philadelphia. Haynes ensures that her main heroine, Gracie, must learn what it means to be knit in her mother’s womb and that God has fearfully and wonderfully made her to learn about her heritage and love. Well done!
