On Books and Writing
Q. How did you come to write Where Hope Begins?
A. While working as a TV reporter in Fresno, I covered the worst mass murder in the city's history; a father who killed nine of his children during a standoff with police. After learning the surviving family members had nowhere to go, I moved some of them into my home. Over the next few years, we went on a life-changing journey together that gave us all hope for the future. Now, we feel it's time to share our inspirational story with everyone.
