“God’s purpose in each of the character’s lives is revealed, individually and through wondrous interconnections of common beliefs, faith, and friendship. The verse from Ecclesiastes 3:1 
“To everything there is a season, a time to every purpose under heaven,” is a key theme to the book.  This is a “feel good” novel that will make a super movie!”    
                                           D. Vaughn
 
“This book is so encouraging. It makes you think about life and the choices you make.”                                                                     K. Miller, 18

                                                                                                    E. Jackson, 18 
 
“Trinity's Hope was a godsend to me.  The message of a family that prays together stays  together was very much a center of focus for me in the book. Trinity and her family were very real and the message is very needed in today's society of 'whatever'.  The hospital scene had a profound impact on my life.  Praise the Lord!”                                                                                                                                                                                 P. Hale

“It made me realize that I can go away to college and still keep my faith and values.”
                                                             K. Turner, 18

“This book was such a blessing to me.  It clearly captured the essence of faith, family, love, and  self-awareness. It gave me the remembrance to stay in prayer constantly, about any and everything.  Every sixteen-year-old young lady should certainly have it.”
                                 S.J.  Bailey, M.D.

“If only I had this book ten years ago, my life would be so very different.                      U. Alred
