Summary

A tragic accident. A mother in mourning. Can a second chance rise from the wreckage? 

Marlee Foster’s life was just getting started. She couldn’t wait for the return of her husband from deployment. After all, he’d be there just in time for the birth of their daughter. The welcome home party is full of joy, but on the way home, tragedy strikes…

When Marlee loses her husband and daughter, her friends and family do their best to heal her broken heart. But painful reminders of a future she’ll never see haunt her every day in the small town. Her only hope at a second chance is to leave it all behind…

As she sets out on a soul-searching adventure, the mourning widow wonders if the wilderness will give her hope for a brighter future or if she’ll forever be chained to a devastating past. During her journey, Marlee is about to learn that love has a funny way of coming back to those who need it the most…

The Flight of Hope is a heart-wrenching contemporary romance in the vein of Nicholas Sparks. If you like emotional journeys, strong-willed heroines, and second chance romances, then you’ll love HJ Bellus’ touching tale. 

Buy The Flight of Hope to settle in with a tear-jerker today!

Heartbreakingly good

This story is soooooo good OMG my heart was broken healed and broken again. Poor Marlee goes through so much heartache and she seems broken but when she meets Jed all seems good but he is sick can Marlee be his strength to get through it? I loved Jeds son Fender such a sweetheart. A great second chance romance. Lacy Laurel is a great narrator her voice is hypnotic and she draws you in so good. I would highly recommend this book it's an emotional rollacosta.

Flight of Hope

I love the narration of this story, maybe this is going to sound weird but the narrator's voice is soothing and slightly hypnotic. As for the story, it is excellent, and I love that the author did not shy away from writing about uncomfortable issues. However, I could not connect to Marlee and Bentley nor could I connect to Marlee and Jed. Flight of Hope is a good story, but as I listened, I felt that I was on the outside looking in, I kept waiting for some kind of connection so that I could experience what these characters were going through. Nevertheless, this is a brilliant story it just did not capture me.

Loving Again

This had me in all of my feelings. Being a military personnel and a former military wife. I knew the feelings Birdie was feeling. I remember sitting close to the tv to hear any reports about my spouse being deployed. The fact I was pregnant during his deployment. It brought all the memories back. I truly enjoyed this book. Narrator brought Birdies feelings to the forefront. This a must read.

Amazing.. heart wrenching

HJ Bellus did a wonderful job with this story. This is a story of a love and loss, but it’s so much more! I felt everything right along with the characters. I laughed and cried multiple tiles while listening. The characters are so true to life and so relatable that you can put yourself in their shoes. This is one I will come back to because it was so good!

Lacy Laurel was a perfect choice for narrator! She did an amazing job with the characters!!

Such tragedy

Wow. Don't know how one person could cope with so much tragedy. Such a heart wrenching story. Marley is such a strong woman and the pain she endures is unimaginable. It's a must listen. Get your tissues ready.

Wow!!!

The Flight of Hope by HJ Bellus is so much more than I expected. This book really is full of emotions from joy, loss, despair, hope, redemption, and love. I found myself pulled into the story of Marlee and Bently and Hope, then Caleb and Fender. I was amazed with the performance by Lacy Laurel. She added so much to the story by bringing the characters to life. I could envision so much by how she said things. This book will definitely stick with me.

Beautiful story of hope!

I had listened to another of HJ Bellus emotional rollercoaster story. I was ready and packed with some tissues. I so enjoyed the story of Marlee, while listening to her joy in high-school with Bentley, her wedding and then her terrible loss.
I felt her pain and her despair. Then her journey to recovery with Jed. I love second chances, this one didn’t disappoint.
