 Good read. Contemporary setting of white privilege, but behind the greed and ‘me first’ these people are human beings. I felt compassion for some more than others, but as the story continued, I came to care for even the most despicable (in my opinion) characters. Isn’t this what we are called to do in life? Love our enemies!

 Elizabeth Smart is all about compassion. She is a household name to many of us. We recall from the news her horrendous abduction in 2003 and miraculous release nine months later. However, I trust that many of us, including myself, are not aware of what a amazing woman Elizabeth has become; in no particular order, a mother, wife, harpist, equestrian, writer and advocate of hope. www.elizabethsmart.com/ For this book Elizabeth interviewed people who had remained hopeful after experiencing terrible tragedies in their lives. She tells their stories and shares what keeps them going. In the midst she weaves her own heartrending story and the hope that sustained her then and that remains with her today. Although it is clear that Elizabeth’s strong Mormon faith and close family are the foundation of hope for her, she does not evangelize. This is a book for people of all faith traditions, and for those who take other paths. |
