In Search of Gopher Hollow by Theresa Anthony.png

Storytelling Straight from the Heart

It is true that we all have a great story to tell.

 

I wrote In Search of Gopher Hollow to share my own life story with the hope of encouraging others who might be experiencing similar trials.

 

Using a blend of humor, sentimentality, and nostalgia, I paint a vivid canvas that draws you right into the copilot seat where together we ride the roller coaster of my life. 

 

I might not have made it through my tumultuous life had it not been for God watching over me, along with an inspiring grandfather who had taught me important life lessons. Indeed, it was at my grandparents’ home called Gopher Hollow that I found refuge at age eight after experiencing much turmoil in my early childhood years.

 

At that impressionable age, like a little sponge I soaked up all the sensory delights I discovered there at Gopher Hollow - the scents of gardenia and eucalyptus, the song 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 and propelled me forward over the years (hence the book’s title).

 

In sharing about the losses and challenges I’ve faced, I hope to set a positive example, and to offer readers a sense of hope when things might appear utterly hopeless. In essence, In Search of Gopher Hollow is a real-life example of faith, hope, and joy in action. I hope you’ll pick up a copy and ride along!

WELCOME
to My Blog

Journey with me as I share my personal life experiences in hopes of inspiring others who may be facing a difficult chapter or two. I am very pleased to announce my newest memoir In Search of Gopher Hollow. In it, I walk the reader through my whole life story, which is quite the roller coaster ride. But with the help of a loving God and a powerful mentor in my late grandfather, I was able to hang on and forge ahead through some very tumultuous times.

 

My last book, Hope Springs from a Mother's Broken Heart: 11 Mothers Share How They Survived the Loss of a Child, delves deeply into the unique grief journey that a mother must endure. I have learned a lot, so I decided to help newly grieving mothers by creating a guidebook. Ten other grieving mothers joined me in sharing their own courageous stories, offering the reader an important resource for tips and wisdom. Mostly, the reader will be inspired by the strength of these ladies, and the amazing ways they have chosen to honor their child's memory.

​

My first memoir, My 13th Station: A Mother Shares Her Son's Tragic Battle with Depression, Alcoholism, and Demons, is a transparent accounting of my son's harrowing journey during the last six years of his short life. In this book, I provide firsthand information that can truly help other parents of struggling teens or young adults.

​

My hope is, through writing and blogging about the a variety of real life issues, that I offer my readers constructive advice based on my personal experiences - and that I inspire them to never give up.
