Therefore I Have Hope

When Tim Ryder made a promise to his younger brother in 1983, he couldn't predict the obstacles he would face that would prevent him from keeping that promise. Now, at seventeen, all Tim wants is to be reunited with his brother, compelling him to travel through the state of North Carolina to find him.

Over the past three years, Mark Ryder has become a very different person from the ten-year-old kid his brother used to know. Angry at the world after the sudden death of his parents, Mark runs away from the foster home where he lives, desperate for freedom and convinced that his brother is never coming back for him.

The two drastically different brothers set off to find what they are looking for and discover that life has other plans. When Tim meets the charming Kate Woodland and Mark crosses paths with seven-year-old Josh O'Brien, a little boy in need of a friend, both learn how to take life as it comes... and find something they didn't know they were looking for.
