The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

Introducing my second novel...
Follow the adventures of Hope, a little girl with big dreams.
Sometimes being left behind is the first step toward finding your true path:
When all her friends get cell phones, Hope feels left behind. Feeling betrayed by people she thought she could trust, Hope struggles to understand why she is being ostracized and longs for the days when she didn't feel like an outsider. She now faces a life filled with inside jokes and plans shared over group chats she's unable to join. it doesn't help that the girl Hope most wants to avoid seems determined to make her life even more stressful.
But everything changes when Hope reconnects with Lily, a wise-beyond-her-years older girl who lives on a nearby farm. Amidst the simple pleasures of feeding chickens, learning to ride horses, and sharing heartfelt stories under open skies, Hope discovers something she didn't know she was missing. As she connects with a world beyond her former friend group, Hope discovers that sometimes the "old fashioned" ways of life (including "snail mail"!) contain the secrets to lasting happiness. Hope's journey to discover real friendships and inner strength come from a much deeper connection within herself—and with God.
Perfect for young readers, this heartfelt novel celebrates the beauty of deepening faith and real friendship—and the power of truly seeing oneself and others with compassion.
