A 2023 Selah Award Winner!

From award-winning author Heidi Chiavaroli comes a sweeping dual timeline story that explores hope and enduring love in the midst of the impossible.

Massachusetts, 1993

After making a grievous mistake that will change her life forever, Emily Robertson is sent away to live with her grandmother on Cape Cod. When Emily finds a timeworn photograph buried in a drawer, she realizes her grandmother has concealed a secret even bigger than her own. Will convincing Gram to reveal their family history help Emily make the most important decision of her life or will it prove her parents right—that family scandal is better off buried and forgotten?

Massachusetts, 1916

Atta Schaeffer plans to marry the man of her dreams and whisk her little sister away from their abusive father. But when she is diagnosed with a dreaded malady, Atta is forced into a life of exile, leaving her sister in harm’s way.

On Penikese Island, Atta’s best hope lies with Harry Mayhew, a doctor who seeks a cure for his patients at any cost. But when experiments fail, Atta runs from Harry—and from God. Can she return to her sister before it’s too late? Or will her illness consume both her body and soul?

A testament to faith and love, Hope Beyond the Waves is the raw account of the journey of two generations of women running from desperate situations toward irresistible hope.

Faith, Hope, and God’s Love.
An amazing story of heartache, loss, hope, miracles, and second chances. This dual timeline book, set in 1916 and 1993, deals with hard issues of both times.In 1916, Atta Schaeffer is planning to marry the love of her life and rescue her little sister from their abusive father. Her world, and plans, are then turned upside down when she receives an unexpected diagnosis and is sent to live on Penikese Island.In 1993, Emily Robertson has also been sent away, but for very different reasons. Her father, who is running for office, doesn’t want her “mistake” to become public knowledge and ruin his families reputation. She is then sent to live with her grandmother on Cape Cod.Through the stories of Emily’s grandmother, we learn the family history that Emily’s father has been hiding for a very long time. Along the way, it helps Emily deal with the issues in her life as well.This book was wonderful. It grabbed me from the beginning and wouldn’t let go. Heidi Chiavaroli did an amazing job weaving the two times together. There is so much faith, hope, and God’s love woven into the book. It also shows how hurts from the past can help heal the ones in the present.

5.0 out of 5 stars completely enthralling

I actually finished this book a few days ago….and really had to have time to absorb it. It is not only one of the best books I have ever read (and I have read ALOT of books in my life), it is also the most unique book. I learned so much from this book about being an outcast, true forgiveness, unconditional love, heart break, healing and miracles. The dual time slip plot line really drew me in….both heroines had such beautiful spirits, and went through such tragic circumstances….but to see their strength of character and how God truly used everything to bring them joy, peace and a closer walk with Him, brought me joy and peace as I experience difficult circumstances. I read and listened to this book on Audible. The author narrated the book and did a wonderful job. This will definitely be a re-read for me and I give it my highest recommendation!

Every once in a while I read a book that moves me to tears and slays me in the most beautiful way. A story I will hold in my heart for many years to come. This is one of those.

We all know books impact readers in different ways based on our background, hurts, preferences, and much more, so my personal history most definitely plays into my absolute love of this story.

In the contemporary timeline the teenage girl dealt with a crisis pregnancy, which we faced with our daughter when she was nineteen. The last line of the very first chapter had me grabbing a tissue - "If only they knew I feel enough shame for all of us." A gut punch for any parent who felt shame over a child facing an unwanted pregnancy.

The historical timeline characters with leprosy and their emotional and mental anguish amid such a difficult journey hit close to home because of my many struggles over the last year dealing with a horrific head-to-toe rare skin rash/disease. Although my disease can't compare with the horrors of leprosy, I could so relate to Atta's feelings of despair and seeing herself as ugly when her body was covered with sores.

In both the historical and 1993 timeline, the characters' spiritual arc and the romance thread was so beautiful. The connection woven between the timelines was seamless and so well done.

The story is gripping, sad, hard to read at times, but so full of God's love, grace, and hope. I can't possibly give this author enough praise for this amazing work.

Oh my goodness. What an amazing story! It is definitely in my top reads this year!

Hope Beyond the Waves by Heidi Chiavaroli completely grabbed me from the beginning and never let go. What an honest, heartbreaking and heartwarming, journey. I could not stop turning pages. Hope Beyond the waves encouraged me to pray differently.

Loss, truly being an outcast, learning compassion, family, leprosy, do we trust the Lord no matter what, and forgiveness are just some of the themes woven together beautifully into this compelling story, laced with love and humor. Authentic characters, important themes, expert storytelling, it's all right here!

Massachusetts, 1993 Emily Robertson, to avoid scandal is sent away to live with her gram on Cape Cod. While there she meets a new friend Sam, a wonderfully nerdy 'boy librarian' her own age. She finds a photo and gets Gram to tell her what Gram calls a story of hope. There are times Emily just doesn't see it that way.

Massachusetts, 1916 Atta & Gertie Schaeffer, Dr Harry Mayhew. Lots of lost hope, lost loved ones, illness and isolation. A complete wrenching away from a former life. And the wonderful Dr. & Mrs Parker appear to have found their calling.

If you want to be swept away into a story that will grip your heart, look no further! I can't recommend it enough!

Thank you to the author for allowing me to read an early copy. All opinions are my own. I plan to purchase a copy for my keeper shelf!

I knew nothing about leprosy colonies in the United States. Heidi did a excellent job of showing a true picture of what the people went through and how they were treated by people.

It is informative and something I plan to investigate further.

Get ready for quite an eye opener and a beautiful story.
