Loving Me Whole

By Vonda Knox

Hope is haunted by emotionally riveting dreams of Connor, the love of her life. Unable to reconcile the intense anxiety, amazing sadness, and absolute bliss the dreams provoke, Hope makes a rash decision to travel to the remote mountain cabin she loved as a child. In the flash of a winter storm Hope faces a deadly event that launches her through time. Waking up in the traumatic family turbulence that was her childhood, Hope is thrust into a domestic war zone with her two younger comrades. Hunter, feisty and independent, joins Hope in a feeble attempt to protect their alcoholic mother from their perpetually angry, intoxicated stepfather, while Chase, young and vulnerable, waits out the battle in the shelter under his bunkbed. Hope's external journey through blood, bandages and family dysfunction, is equaled only by the internal haunting of broken emotions that take the form of unrelenting and terrifying personalities. By default, survival is Hope's only reality, until she meets Connor. A new, tender love softens Hope and she allows herself to bask in the light of her love for him. Hope's ability to love Connor is easy and fluid, but the journey to love and forgive Hope proves to be an enduring, all-consuming battle.
