Where There's Hope- There's Love

About the Book

Where There’s Hope - There’s Love is a collection of poems that inspire with hope for today and tomorrow. The author shares poems of hope for brighter tomorrows. In the poems “A Rainbow of Hope” and “Over the Horizon,” the author expresses that even through the most challenging of times in one’s life, tomorrow will be brighter. In the poem “Gathering Stones,” the author shares that there comes a period in our lives when we experience disappointments and we gather stones, in search for inner peace through healing and forgiveness. Also, in this collection, the author, who is a mother of an adult son with autism, shares three poems about autism to help bring a better awareness and understanding about autism, which is so expressed in her poems “Do You See Him? Do You Hear Him? Do You Know Him?” “Tears,” and “John.” And in the closing poem, “Beyond the Sunset,” the author shares that we can come to know love.

Where There’s Hope - There’s Love inspires us to believe that on any given day, we always have hope to hold on to and our faith to keep us going, and above all, as we come to know love, we will live our best selves.
