HOPE

Ellis knows how to repair things. When a wildfire destroys his family's home and the workshop that supported them, he begins drawing plans to put everything back exactly as it was.

But Cora needs a life that feels safe, not another promise she must hold together. Their daughter, Tessa, is grieving a room no one can rebuild while trying to protect a future she is afraid to want.

Set in Summersville, West Virginia, HOPE is an intimate story of a family learning to hear one another after loss. A worn folding rule, a missing mug, and a packet of ceiling stars become reminders of what cannot be replaced, and of the love that still asks to be carried forward.

Includes an Inspiration Note reflecting on Romans 5:3 through 5.
