Hope from Stone is a powerful narrative, a character driven story with a lively plot. It has robust detail, believable exaggeration, humor, and strong dialogue.
It takes the protagonist through a process of developing a relationship with God, from trusting her intuition more than popular opinion.
​Hope from Stone identifies with modern pop culture by exploring spirituality, dysfunction, stress, and personal choice.
It is a Christian story that starts from the protagonist's secretive, flimsy, naïve perspective about her faith that evolves into a rock solid foundation of hope.
Hope from Stone provides MSers with much needed optimism and inspiration regardless of the condition of their health. Its an informative read for caregivers as well.
