LibraryReads nomination interest from Shirlynn Buck, Yoe High School (purchase intent and readers' advisory: yes).
“A Vision of Hope is depressing and yet heart-warming, complicated and yet simplified as one's life is shown at its darkest moments out of control because of choices made. Hindsight is 20-20 but the lessons learned are pricey and yet priceless. More power to your positive outlook, Andrew.”
