When Hope Went South

It was the last straw for Hope Peterson. Her parents' betrayal was more than she could bear. How could she survive the deprivation of everything and everyone she had ever loved? One loss was enough but unbeknown to her, there was more heartbreak to come.

During her perilous road trip along the Southern Alps, she experiences the joy of witnessing the most breath-taking scenery she had ever seen. But when she arrives at Dart River Ranch, the revelation of a deeply buried secret kills her joy.

Can the truth provide her with a new life of love and a mended heart or will it be a cruel messenger of unrelenting pain?  Who can rescue her from her past?
