    About this audiobook

    Sometimes a first love needs a push... or a pregnancy.

    Priscilla Reddy has returned to Hope Springs following a breakup she should've seen coming. The small Texas Hill Country town is where she wants to raise her child. But on her first day back, she runs into the reason she left: the man whose life she ruined.

    Cary Browning was a geek in high school and remains a geek today. His work as a comic book creator gives children hope—and a survivor to cheer them on. But now that Cilla's back, he can't escape memories of his own damaged past… or what he did to protect Cilla's.

    Is Hope Springs big enough for both of their secrets… and a future?

    Alison Kent

    Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached 30 that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale. Two years after that, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the 'Isn't It Romantic?' episode of CBS's 48 Hours. The resulting book, Call Me, was a Romantic Times finalist for Best First Series Book.

      It is a great reading this book titled "Hope for the Holiday" by Alison Kent. And for these two people, who had a moment in their life changes for good. With the way, they both meet during their time in high school. An event that took place helps to seal them in a way they will find out in the near future. Yet both did not know-how but went on their separate ways. But as usual, life has a different way of writing new meanings of life for both of these people.
