Love Hoped For: A Memoir

By Vivian Davis Campbell

Book Overview

Love Hoped For is a moving memoir of an unloved child's triumphant struggle to find acceptance, enlightenment and love. She paints a picture of a bucolic community in Ohio, its country doctor, her gifted, but undemonstrative father and her well-intentioned but inept mother. Her journey of almost 90 years led her through: The early days of the Scientific Division of the CIA Sixteen years in the Gurdjieff Work Thirty years as a member of an order of Dervishes A liberating study of Energetic Healing She ends her Memoir with these words: "Questions, problems with my family, painful memories that have tormented me for years are now transformed into an entirely different interpretation of my relation to them... I must also express my gratitude to my parents for giving me a good body and a mind that enabled me to detect, unravel and act on difficult situations that broadened me and improved my character. Above and beyond all I cannot adequately express my gratitude to God for His strength and guidance without which none of this would have been possible."
