Friend and author, lovely Eva Jordan, has appeared several times on Linda’s Book Bag, most recently here when I reviewed 183 Times A Year along with a feature on Eva’s Time Will Tell.

Since then Eva has had a change of publisher and is back with a fantastic sounding new book, A Gift Called Hope which is published today, 4th November 2022, by Bloodhound.

A Gift Called Hope is available for purchase from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo Books, and Open Road Media.

Let’s find out more:

A Gift Called Hope

A heartfelt novel of a Christmas shadowed by loss and regret—and brightened by hope for renewal—from the author of Time Will Tell.

Six-year-old Jack is counting the days to Christmas. But his grandmother is just counting the days until it’s over. For Jill, the holiday comes with painful memories, and she wants only to escape the recent past and its tragedies.

She’s moved and started a new life running a food truck in Widmore Bay, a quaint seaside town, in order to flee her agonising history.

It’s only for little Jack’s sake that Jill tolerates the tree and decorations. She just wants to spend Christmas with the curtains drawn, reading a book and drinking coffee.

But this season, she may stumble onto a miracle that restores joy—and hope—in her heart . . .

Doesn’t A Gift Called Hope sound just wonderful and quite possibly the gift of hope so many of us would benefit from in modern times?

About Eva Jordan

Eva Jordan, born in Kent but living most of her life in a small Cambridgeshire town, describes herself as a lover of words, books, travel and chocolate.

Eva is a published writer of several short stories and debut novel 183 Times A Year. Eva has always had a love of books and reading and really got the writing bug when she received a first for her dissertation, which looked at The People’s War during World War II, whilst studying for a degree in English and History.

Eva’s career has been varied, including working in a Women’s Refuge and more recently at the city library. However, storytelling through the art of writing is her true passion. Eva enjoys stories that force the reader to observe the daily interactions of people with one another set against the social complexities of everyday life, be that through crime, love or comedy.
