Journey of Hope Two Novels

Heather Barlow has always been idealistic, and now she's ready to make a difference in the world. After her high school graduation, she joins a mission group on a hospital mercy ship sailing to Africa. But Heather is unprepared to face the disease, famine, and misery she encounters. Until she meets Ian McCollum, a fellow missionary who helps Heather understand that the world can be changed if people try to help those in need one by one. When Heather returns home, the joy she felt during her missionary trip fades. While she has changed a great deal, her family has not. Heather's sense of purpose is renewed when she persuades her mother to travel with her back to Uganda to try to save a baby she rescued on her mission trip. But when Heather becomes ill and cannot undertake the journey, it is up to Heather's self-centered younger sister, Amber, to prove that she, too, can make a difference. Will Amber be able to pick up where Heather left off?McDaniel, Lurlene is the author of 'Journey of Hope Two Novels', published 2004 under ISBN 9780553494518 and ISBN 0553494511.
