Finding Hope - Daniel Jay Paul

For eighteen years Nick Langley was the most reliable man in Evergreen. Then one morning he vanished.

Leaving behind a marriage that had long since gone silent and a town that had stopped asking questions, Nick heads west with little more than a guitar and the uneasy feeling that his real life might still be waiting somewhere ahead.

In San Francisco he finds an unlikely community: a sharp-tongued café owner, a bar owner with a gambler's instincts, an old friend who refuses to let him quit-and Hope, the waitress who hears something in his music that even Nick can't yet believe.

But the past doesn't stay buried forever. As Nick rebuilds his life one song at a time, the hardest test may be facing the daughter he left behind-and proving that sometimes the bravest thing a person can do is start over.

Finding Hope is a heartfelt story about redemption, music, family, and the courage it takes to believe that hope might still be waiting for you.
