What I got from this book is that hope takes on many forms. Sometimes it’s in the touch of a hand, a hug from a teacher, or the confidence found in tai chi class. Edith has found the key that unlocks the power of hope. These inspiring stories underscore the human desire to persevere, to overcome, and to heal.

I got my copy signed by the author at the Grand Opening of The Reading Glass Books at the Cumberland Mall in Vineland, New Jersey on August 30, 2024. I am also employed there. When you read these stories you realize that if these people can overcome their circumstances, then your problems are minuscule in comparison. We should never lose hope because there is always something to be grateful for. Our blessings are many.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who has experienced lose or anyone who is curious to learn about lose. Hedden is open and honest with her readers. She does not embellish pain and suffering. She finds small pockets of hope in life’s most challenging situations while still maintaining a down-to-earth perspective.
