There is Always, Hope, is the first of the seven-book Hope & Penny Series, written to offer children positivity, relatability, and comfort during difficult times. Author Tiffany McQuaid was inspired to create the series after experiencing a significant void on store bookshelves: stories of hope and perseverance for children suffering loss or hardship of any kind. As a self-proclaimed over-comer, Tiffany draws upon the seven key principles from her original book, INth Degree, a collaboration with Bruce Littlefield. Those seven keys are INtrepidness, INvigoration, INtention, INspiration, INgenuity, INcentive, and INfluence. There is Always, Hope centers on INtrepidness, demonstrating courage in a gentle and empathetic way and lights the path for a more promising tomorrow in life after loss.
