Adults Non-Fiction:
Hope Rekindled: A Heart Empowered, hit the #1 Release in Inspirational Poetry on Amazon, the #4 bestseller in the inspirational poetry category and was among the top 20 in two other categories on Amazon when it was released in August 2018. It was also in the top 10 Hot New Releases on Amazon.
The book is a compilation of poems, prose, quotes, and reflections on hope, healing, empowerment, and faith as we journey through life's trials and triumphs, and as we strive to be resilient in our pursuit of purpose and finding fulfillment. It allows us to consider how challenges can provide us with an opportunity to rekindle our spirit, renew our courage, and remember our common humanity. It invites us to embrace kindness and compassion so we can make a positive difference and live in a more peaceful world, which I believe starts with hope and empowerment in the heart.
The book also includes nine pages of beautiful full-colour photography, including inspiring natural landscapes, to complement the themes of the book.

Book Review:
On "My Many Friends, Our One Heart":
"I adore your story! I like the use of the word compassionate heroes. I think this book could speak to character education assemblies many schools adopt. I also like the nature of the book as a social story. I think that having children reflect on how they may make others feel in their actions is some of the best work that teachers can do. "
