It had been a harsh winter, and the children gathered felled twigs for tinder. However, they found a shoe and it was attached to a black man. The young children thought he had turned to stone. He had been dead for so long. But Ted was not dead, and a complicated adventure started leading our four heroes on the journey of a lifetime. Read to find out if Jason and Rachel find God, how the first people of color seen in over eight years integrated into the community, and how a black-hearted soul has come to God and journies on the path to public redemption. This book has adventure, codes to decipher, and the area of Hope expands west. It is an exciting follow-up to "In Search of New Hope." Raised in Church and surrounded by books that sparked my imagination, these books were inevitable. My life experiences are in this book: my love of the outdoors, riding horses as a young girl and being quite good with a rifle. Writing about village life comes from many trips to developing countries and seeing the non-technical life first-hand. I came to Christ early in life with a passion to lead others, whether as a camp counselor or as a short-term missionary. It is my prayer that this book will have a positive impact on your life and will be an enjoyable read. I live in Orlando with my two fur babies, both rescued. When not writing, I am gardening, reading, quilting, or ministering in my Church. I am a retired nurse, having worked in many types of nursing. Enjoy the continuing story of New Hope.
