When Gary, Annie, Joe, Dr. Don and the rest of the team at the Mission at Harbor and Divine consider helping Maria, Jose and Jesus with a Christmas time safe haven from assassins of the (fictitious) Copper Canyon Drug Cartel they set in motion an unintended path to murderous, destructive violence. Blossoming love relationships, an art mission outreach to a developmentally disabled ten-year old artistic savant, the bicycle repair and give-away mission and even Christmas are all put aside in order to work with the FBI and DEA to save lives and derail the cartel assassin's murderous intents in a destructive shootout inside the mission's chapel. Cleveland's entire Near West Side of Cleveland rallies behind the courageous team of the Mission at Harbor and Divine turning dark violence into a fabulous Christmas celebration. Come be reunited with your beloved characters from "Sfumato," book one of the Harbor and Divine Series. Turn your bitter into sweet; your lost into found; your brokenness into healing as you triumph in the victory of Love and Faith in "Hope at the Corner of Harbor and Divine." T.W.Poremba has a lifetime of love for the Near West Side of Cleveland where he was born. As the setting for his Harbor and Divine Series, Cleveland's Near West Side spawns heroic effort, loving friendships and healing hope from a mission at the corner of Harbor and Divine.
