Where There's Hope

“Smart’s first book, My Story, was about her ordeal. Now she’s writing about the ordeals of others…it’s always absorbing, and along the way she provides valuable lessons about resilience, faith, and the inherent power of not wanting to be pitied, even if you’re the very definition of a victim.”–New York Times Book Review

“Elizabeth’s message really shines through … Her voice and the stories throughout this book remind us that hope comes in many forms and packages and inspires us to dream of a future filled with what we define for ourselves.” –Jaycee Dugard, New York Times bestselling author of A Stolen Life and Freedom: My Book of Firsts

Elizabeth Smart is an American activist, president of the Elizabeth Smart Foundation, and New York Times bestselling author of My Story. She first gained widespread attention at age fourteen when she was kidnapped from her home and rescued nine months later.
