In book #3 of the Hope series, Hope Rodriguez's life still doesn't run in a straight line. After waking up from her failed suicide attempt, Hope finds herself in the behavioral unit of a hospital and under the insightful care of an older psychiatrist, Dr. Miller, who helps her learn the importance of being more proactive and less reactive. Upon being discharged from the hospital, Hope's friend, Liz, invites her to go on a mission trip with the church to the Central American country of Honduras and be an interpreter for the mission team. Although she's usually reluctant to be in the spotlight, Hope agrees to go and help. Nothing could have prepared her or the rest of the team for the emotional impact that hits them once they land. The incongruency of the natural beauty of the country cast against the abject poverty of the people is impossible to rectify. Everywhere Hope goes children are attracted to her and she to them. The fact that many of them are homeless pulls at her heartstrings. One of the team members is a physician, Dr. Henry Guest. More than once, Hope and he are teamed together in the medical clinic. Liz tells her Henry is clearly interested in her, but Hope doesn't believe her-until it becomes obvious he is! Meanwhile, Michael Trent's life continues to spiral out of control, with disastrous results. Just before leaving Honduras, Hope is faced with a monumental decision, a decision that could fundamentally change the course of her life. In "Hope Returns" Hope finally finds the peace and happiness she's been searching for most of her life-but finds it in a surprising way and in the most unexpected of places.
