I Am Hope

Growing Up with an Addict

De: Stephen Hope

Narrado por: Stephen Hope

Stephen Hope’s mother was arrested and sent to prison in 2005 for selling meth to an undercover cop. She had been dealing it out of the family’s small, cookie-cutter home in Henderson, Kentucky, for years, cooking it in an eight-by-ten-foot shed in the backyard.

I Am Hope begins with an honest, no-filter account of Stephen’s life behind those dark, meth-filled walls. Even as his brother was ripped from their home, Stephen was left behind, forced to live in a neglectful home—one of the many prices he paid for his mother’s addiction.

Then, several freak accidents helped him change his perspective, channeling his drive toward something more.

Whether you’re looking for insight into lives touched by addiction or trying to find your own way out of a dark situation, I Am Hope is the true story of one person’s way through—and the hope he eventually found.

Speechless

I’m truly speechless.

My heart broke for Hope so many times, but rejoiced in his triumphs. Incredibly moving and touching.

From the Heart

Although the print edition states this is a work of fiction, it’s clear the author lived through these nightmares and by his incredible strength of character and sheer determination triumphed over a a childhood of neglect and abuse because of his mother’s drug addiction. This is an honest, from-the-heart memoir of transformation.
