A Beacon of Hope

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know no way of judging the future but by its past. -Patrick Henry (Founding Father), Virginia, March 23, 1775 In the final chapter of The Riley Cooper Series of Hope, the plague that ravaged the world of human life still has no cure. Survivors have fled the cities in the hopes of not becoming its next prey. In their dire need to save themselves, many survivors became victims to false saviors that have resurrected some of history's worst practices. The murder of a dear friend flips Riley's world upside down. Frightened that the rest of the team being held hostage will succumb to the same fate, she, along with her family and friends, sets out to get them back. What they find is far beyond anything any of them could have imagined. Though Jackson, Wyoming, has become a beacon of hope for many, obstruction and hardship caused by others has planted the seed of doubt in the minds of some survivors. But Divine Providence has reminded Riley of His promise: "The day of tyranny has returned, but God has heard the cry of His people and has given them hope. That hope today, my friends, is us!" (Riley Cooper).
