About the Author

Carol Cannon's dream of becoming an author began when she was in fifth grade with the encouragement of her teacher and father. When she retired after thirty years of teaching, she decided it was time to pursue that dream. Carol began her Kerry Series with Forgiveness. Hope is the second book in the series. Two more books will follow to complete the series. Each book focuses on one of the four main characters: Layne, Nona, Dixie, and Betty Jo.Carol grew up on a farm near the small town of New Market, Indiana with two sisters and three brothers. She left the farm to attend Manchester College where she met and fell in love with her husband, David. They married and had three wonderful children, who have given them seven precious grandchildren.Carol has loved living in the Hawkinsville, Georgia, area for the past forty years with her husband in the log-home that they, along with their children, built from the ground up. She thanks God every day for her many blessings of family and friends.

Reviews

Carol Cannon is now one of my favorite authors. Her writing is true skill that is so realistic. The characters are well-developed and relatable--even those you care less for--and the life experiences are believable. This series is a joy to read. The Fearsome Foursome are absolutely lovable. We all should have such Christ-centered friends that really care about one another. Every storyline in this series is something we all can be touched by a terrible accident, loss of a loved one, sickness of an elderly parent, a misbehaving adult child, and so on. I would recommend this author and series to those who enjoy clean writing with deep passion and well-worked plots.
Hope does a great job of continuing the Kerry Series. Character development and storyline flows well from the first book and the voice of the author carries through too. That being said, the story and background is developed well enough that it could stand alone as its own book.
I loved the first book in the Kerry series; 'Forgiveness' . I just finished reading 'Hope', the second book in the series. It is every bit as good as the first. This book is about Nona, one of the fearsome four best friends. Her life takes on a lot of twists and turns that keeps you turning pages, but you hate to finish because you may not find another good book to read. I hope Carol finishes the third book soon.
Carol Cannon is able to write in such a manner as to evoke memories of the feelings one had at the time of going through their own life's experiences. Her character development and style of writing gives the reader four new best friends... and makes one want to call Layne, Dixie, Bettie Jo, and Nona to come over and have a glass of wine. Once again, this author had me feeling the entire range of emotions. I highly recommend you read Carol Cannon.
