About Hannah's Reach

Hannah's reach is the story of Olivia Thomas, a successful young New York executive, who has everything... except anyone at all to share it all with. A young adult who has aged out of foster care, she prefers life on her own; she has found that love, in any arena, is just too dangerous. For her, Christmas is "strictly business" until a young, unsophisticated doorman from Idaho makes it "his business" to help to open up her heart to the season, to love, to children, to finding where she really belongs, and most of all, to God.

Despite her resistance, Bryan leads Olivia on a journey to a miracle where she will not only learn to love a desperate child, and re-encounter the "man that got away," but will also confront the underlying questions of her life: "Does God or anyone else even care I'm alive? Does God hear and answer prayers, even after many years of doubting Him?"

In a journey through tragedy and triumph, love and loneliness, and redemption, Olivia is constantly thwarted by disappointments, dark secrets from her past, and shadowy forces determined to destroy her. And when she has lost everything and everyone, she must go to the manger and find the child... But will she have the courage to trust God just one more time?

Hannah's Reach, a modern parable, speaks to those who find themselves in a season of doubt. While not all will receive a miracle in this life, when all is said and done, we will look back and see God's hand in our lives-leading us home-if we will surrender our will to His.

The story will keep you turning pages, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, through every twist and surprise until you reach the amazing and heartwarming ending. Guaranteed... Hannah's Reach will reach your heart.

Excerpts from Susan Henderson's Review

In her debut novel Eileen Snow introduces readers to a loveable cast of characters and invites them to experience a Christmas miracle that will inspire them to reach out to those who hurt. As the back cover synopsis so eloquently guarantees, "Hannah's Reach will reach your heart." It will also leave readers anxious for the next work from this exciting new author.

Hannah's Reach is recommended for anyone who loves kids. Parents, teachers and church children's workers alike will find themselves caught up in Hannah's world. Social Service workers will also benefit from delving into the story. Although the social service field is not portrayed in a positive light, it is honestly presented, and those within the system can learn much from this book. Finally, Hannah's Reach is highly recommended for foster parents or for those who are considering service in this capacity. Again, much can be learned from the characters' experiences in foster care, and the education is delivered with a much-needed dose of inspiration and encouragement.
