Hope Began Under A Mango Tree: An Inspiring Novel Based on True Stories, Bridge of Hope, Gotlam, Andhra Pradesh, India

By: Sheila Ann Smith

What would you do if you knew your actions would impact generations? A Christian couple sailed from Canada in the 1930s, and their legacy continues to grow and expand.

This is a novel based on a true story of Bridge of Hope in Gotlam, India-a tapestry woven from dreams, struggles, and resilience over 100 years. Crossing continents, Canadians joined hands with India as partners in building something lasting: the possibility of a future once thought unimaginable. Their work was not without hardship, and some days the burdens seemed unbearable, but connections gave rise to new beginnings that are still rescuing lives and changing families.

Through personal, heartwarming stories, history and culture in India come alive. Humanity is interwoven with small victories and profound transformations, inviting readers into the lives of those who refused to let circumstances determine their destiny. It's about real people whose courage lit the way for others, and the bridge they built-one of hope, understanding, and shared generosity.
