Hope Meadows Real-life Stories of Healing and Caring from an Inspiring Community
Discover the inspiring true story of Hope Meadows, a unique community built on an abandoned Air Force Base in Illinois. Sociologist Brenda Eheart envisioned this village as a solution to the revolving-door foster care system, offering a stable home and a sense of normalcy to deeply troubled children. Here, 'unadoptable' children find a foundation, while foster grandparents discover renewed purpose by providing unconditional love and commitment. This book explores how a sense of community can foster healing and allow both children and adults a chance to flourish.
