Where Hope Lives Tonya Coronado

Hope Harris has been a good girl all her life despite her alcoholic parents. Her high school graduation promises a world of fresh possibilities as she prepares to shake off the dust from the small town of Brewton, Alabama. But just when she thinks her life is about to begin, the unthinkable happens, and her dreams and innocence are shattered in one terrifying moment. Hope flees to Pensacola, Florida, trying to bury the shame...but crippling thoughts of hopelessness and worthlessness follow her. Laced with colorful characters and Southern traditions, this riveting novel is filled with the bad and the good that make up life. It's about a dysfunctional family broken by grief...a violation that crushes the soul...a love story of two people separated by uncontrollable circumstances...but most of all, about joy at the end of sorrow...healing at the end of forgiveness...and dreams that really do come true.
