Wrapped in Hope: The Gift of Frozen Moments

5/5 ( ratings)

"And, in its raven beauty the silence met her, cradled her in love and whispered into her ears."

Wrapped in Hope is set in modern day Ireland against the historic and stunning backdrop of Birr Castle Demesne where a deep earthy wisdom hangs solemn in the air. A story of hope and transformation, of overcoming the challenges of life, of trusting more profoundly than you could ever imagine that there is a bigger and better plan for you, until you find the strength to lose all fears and ultimately be the making of your own life.

When 42 year old Liz realises that she wasted fifteen years of her life on a man who never loved her and who never would, her whole life seems to lose all purpose, reason and hope. In an emotional surge, Liz faces the choices she made and how her life could have been, the wasted years she gave to this man, the children she wished she had.

Trapped in a life of self doubt and uncertainty, Liz trudges through the snow in search of an answer. She encounters Abigail whose innocent expression of life resonates with Liz. Together, Liz and the young girl embark on an incredible journey of friendship and discovery which will reach back into the past before, ultimately, lighting the way to Liz’s new future.

They are not alone on their odyssey, but are aided by the words they find written on mysterious pages which fall randomly in their path. These words of wisdom convince Liz to take control of her life, to believe in herself and dare her, to dream again. Along their journey they meet a 70 year old man, Wayne whose wisdom smooths out the edges of Liz’s challenges. Abigail, Liz and Wayne open the bows for each other to reveal their true gifts in life. Gifts that could have died undiscovered.

This book takes you on a journey of how three people of different generations create an everlasting impact on each others lives. They become the key to each other finding their way home again - that home within where breathtaking views of life make difficult times seem like an illusion.

"A wonderfully inspiring read. Just when you think you see everything clearly, Patrice Reynolds springs one heart-warming surprise after another on the reader. Wrapped in Hope will stay with you long after you finish the last page.”
