Hannah's heart beat with a mother's love long before she was blessed with a child.
You can meet Hannah in the passages of 1 Samuel, chapters 1 and 2. The Bible says she was "barren", and we know she suffered heartache, anguish, and grief because of her empty arms. Perhaps you do too.
Hannah's Hope is for all who long for a child yet to be conceived, grieve for a baby too soon passed from the womb, or have lived through the no-man's-land of a failed adoption. It is a guide to assist you in making wise decisions as you struggle through your grief. And by the end of the journey, God may surprise you by the ways He answers your heart's cry. Compassionately written by a woman who knows well these painful struggles, Hannah's Hope will direct you to the Source of Strength, whose name is "the God of all comfort."
