If you have faced serious obstacles in life and are overdue for some encouragement, this book is for you. You’ll learn about the power of  faith and sheer grit in overcoming unimaginable loss.

 

In Search of Gopher Hollow is the wild ride that is my life story, a story of hope, resilience, and survival. Come join me in the copilot seat where we’ll ride through all the triumphant highs and  personal heartbreaks together! Trust me ... never a dull moment.

 

You know that old saying, "God never gives us more than we can handle." Well, God kinda pushed the envelope with me. However, He also gave me an inspiring grandfather who taught me many important life lessons that would fortify me for facing future challenges.

 

Indeed, it was at my grandparents’ home called Gopher Hollow that I found refuge at the age of eight, after experiencing great turmoil in my early childhood years. At that impressionable age, I soaked up all the sensory delights I discovered there at Gopher Hollow - the scents of gardenia and eucalyptus, the cooing of the mourning dove - while also forging a close bond with my grandpa. The result was a blueprint for joy that became deeply engrained in my psyche, propelling me forward over the years (hence the book’s title).

 

So, why dredge up the past? Because by sharing about the challenges I’ve managed to overcome, I provide that little spark of inspiration and a glimmer of hope that might just help someone who is facing an immense struggle of their own.

 

In essence, In Search of Gopher Hollow is a real-life example of faith, hope, and joy all wrapped up in a whole lotta drama. I do hope you’ll pick up a copy and ride along! I promise, it will leave you smiling.
