Emotionally shattered, the solace of the ocean, and a loving dog, carry her on her way. Samantha meets Timothy Bleak, who was raised in a seemingly kind, loving family, but is virtually invisible to them. His voice goes unheard, his needs are unmet, and his emotions are squashed. Timothy summons the strength to leave his family, and discovers Samantha in his journey. Restored Hope follows these two bereft young people as their lives intertwine and they face the challenges of life, love and happiness together. |

Everyone thinks Nancy Lewiston Cooper has it all: beauty, intelligence, a loving family, a
great husband, and gorgeous children. But reality is seldom as it appears …
In the days before she met her future husband, Vince Cooper, Nancy finished her college
degree and had a bright future ahead of her. But then she met and fell in love with Vince,
and her plans changed. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until her honeymoon that Nancy discovered
Vince’s true nature—cruel and abusive one minute, sweet as can be the next. A dual
personality.
In the months that follow, Nancy falls into a vicious cycle. To avoid the horrible, abusive
confrontations with her husband, she agrees to his lifestyle—drugs, sex, alcohol, and her
complete submissiveness. Nancy believes the only way her husband will change is to have a
baby, and her wish comes true a few months later. But things do not change, even when
Nancy becomes pregnant with their second child.
Feeling isolated, depressed, and fragile, Nancy struggles to hang onto her sanity. When
she is arrested on drug charges, she must go through a two-week counseling session, and
she finally understands the control Vince has over her life. But will she be able to break the
cycle of abuse before it’s too late?
