Amy is real, her story is real. Hope When it’s Heavy gives real tangible insights into scripture and her own heart as to how to navigate your own heavy hoping soul. This book comes from a place of heart and experience knowledge not just head knowledge. She “knows” the Savior who she hopes in. This is an invitation into that knowing, and into hope even when your heart is heavy with grief, health, loss or whatever circumstance life has brought to your door.
