### From the Author

I have had some people ask me if *Faith, Hope & Love* is a true story or based on real events. The short answer is no, it's not a real story. However, the story was inspired by events that occurred as I was growing up as a missionary kid in Asia. There were instances of kidnappings of missionaries throughout my growing up years. One had endings that was sad--the missionary kidnapped was killed. Another had an unknown ending--3 missionary men were eventually declared dead after 8 years based on reports although their bodies were never recovered. And yet another had a happy ending--the missionary was released after 810 days in captivity. It was those events that inspired me to write *Faith, Hope & Love*. Also in my mind was the knowledge that many (all?)of us struggle at times with wondering where God is when things are rough. Or wondering what the bigger picture is when our view of our circumstances is so narrow. There are situations where we never do see the bigger picture, the impact our struggle may have had one others. But through it all, God remains faithful. We just have to keep our trust in Him. Showing that struggle for Quinn and Cassie was an emotional journey for me as well. I hope that as people read this story they are encouraged to keep their trust in God even when circumstances make them feel abandoned and alone.
