Jasmine

As a child, Jasmine and her family are forced to flee from their homeland. They find themselves in America where her newfound freedoms lead to Jasmine being disowned by her father and homeless on the streets of Washington, DC. She is rescued by her knight in shining armor who marries her, then whisks her away to Utah where he is employed in his family business. After three children, Jasmine and her husband, Robert, sperate due to complications from his addiction to alcohol. Jasmine finds herself a single mother supported by her four closest friends, her in-laws, and her husband's best friend who, by fate, lives in the spare bedroom of Jasmine's house. Jasmine quickly finds herself caught up with three different men who wish to woo her to gain her affections. She is forced to learn to be independent, find employment, and balance being a mom and her love life. Just as she is beginning to make progress, a death throws her back into her old life and forgotten religion, forcing her to confront the one person she has tried to escape--her father. Full of hope, Jasmine fights for the bright future she always dreamed of having and searches for true love. This is the first book in a series of the Sisters of Hope.
