When we forgive, we put on the face God gave us." And Then Came Hope is a story for anyone searching for peace and hope, and it is a story for those whose journey has already begun. And Then Came Hope is the story of Joan Brown's life, her challenges growing up during the Depression and coming of age and grace, of marrying and raising a family, and of battles with cancer and Parkinson's disease. And in the midst of this, it is the story of a woman who found God. Walk with Joan as she learns to live in the present moment, to walk with Jesus in the midst of turmoil, to love those who have hurt her, and to forgive them.
