Book Excerpts

"Once you choose hope, anything's possible."

"When one fights hate with love, love, wins"

"The doctor said he was Catholic and, as such, was devoted to saints. He truly believed Helen was a saint and someone he benefited from knowing."

"Yesterday is but a dream. Tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope."

"I often think of the nuns from my school, the moms of my friends, my teachers, my mentors, and the people in recovery who showed me love and compassion when I needed it. I fall back on the line in John 4:8: 'God is love.' "
