Finding Hope ReviewIt's beyond commendable when an author can present and develop realistic and emotionally-complete characters one can identify with so completely, to the point where a sequel feels like a visit with old friends. After reading the first two wonderful books in this series, that's exactly the feeling I got from "Finding Hope," the latest in the series.We find that life has gone on for Taylor (senior partner of a successful law firm on the outskirts of his adopted home town, Pine Creek) and his life-partner Tom (now close to his PhD, while teaching at the local college and helping out at the bakery he co-owns with Taylor), as well as their small adoptive children and members of their "extended family", including Gen (now mayor of the town) and Pete (Taylor's business partner and a good friend). It is also a "coming of age" time for their young ward Wayne (just finished his junior year at the university, and manager of their bakery), his boyfriend Eric and their best friends Dan and Emmy. We learn that the relationship between Eric and Wayne took a detour while Eric finished his degree at Ohio State, with Dan becoming Wayne's roommate to help him through that difficult time.
When it becomes known that an aggressive real estate developer is looking to buy the store next to the bakery, Tom and Taylor decide to bid against him, primarily to protect the quaint historical shopping district from becoming the target of bigger chain stores. At the suggestion of Wayne and his friends, they decide to open a coffee shop in the adjacent space, connected directly to the bakery. The new store provides an employment opportunity for Jason, who lives above the store, and quickly becomes popular with the local townspeople. Meanwhile, Gen hears that the real estate developer plans to run against her in the next mayoral election, and enlists Taylor's help in fighting him off. Eric returns to town, on a temporary hiatus before starting employment in the city with a big corporation, and he starts courting Wayne again, although Wayne holds him at arms length, afraid of being hurt again. An unexpected accident puts Eric, Taylor and Pete's unborn child at risk. Taylor plans a hotly-anticipated debate between Gen and the developer, and increasing time demands with their businesses, on top of their own careers and family, make Taylor and Tom wonder if they spread themselves too thin, and are unfairly depending on Wayne to do too much.
"Finding Hope" is a delightful, positively mesmerizing tale about a place you will wish you lived, with people you feel you already know, but would like to know better. As I said after the second book, I can definitely see success if the author ever tried to adapt this into a television series, perhaps on Showtime to replace QAF, or on one of the new gay cable networks offering original programming. It would be on my "must see" list, for sure!
Last but not least, the author parodies DVDs by including some "extras" at the end of the book, included deleted scenes, a map of the town and a floorplan of Taylor's law office. Original and clever, and adds to the overall enjoyment of the book.Finding Hope Overview
