If You Ever Lose Hope...

One day, she lost hope. Darkness enveloped her. Sorrow filled up her soul. Fear seized her and refused to let go. She didn't know what to do.

But the Survivors did. The Survivors-those who had been beaten, broken, and silenced and had gone on to grow gardens and sing love songs-gave her words. Words that helped her find her way forward when it appeared that no forward existed. 

When hope returned, she set the Survivors' words down in a book so that others could receive what she had been given.
