The Road to Hope - Paperback

by Crissi Langwell (Author)

They never planned to cross paths. But fate-and heartbreak-had other plans.

In California's northern wine country, two women are grappling with separate tragedies. Jill's world shatters the morning she finds her two-year-old son has died in his sleep. Maddie's life collapses when her parents kick her out after learning she's pregnant and unwed at just sixteen.

Both women are thrown into survival mode-Jill drowning in grief, Maddie battling homelessness and isolation. When a brief encounter brings them together, their connection sparks something neither expected: the faint glimmer of healing. As their stories intertwine, both will discover that even in the darkest moments, there's still a road to hope.

The Road to Hope is an emotional and uplifting novel about loss, resilience, and the unlikely bonds that light the way forward.

Content warning: This novel contains themes of child loss, teen pregnancy, and emotional trauma.
