When Hope Stout was diagnosed with bone cancer, the Stouts prayed for a miracle. The miracle occurred, but not in the way the Stouts expected. Instead this young girl asked for what seemed to be impossible-that one million dollars be raised in a month to fund the wishes of all the children on the Make-A-Wish Foundation's list for Central and Western North Carolina. Shelby and Stuart Stout felt led to write A Legacy of Hope after compiling a journal of the 191 days from Hope's diagnosis to her death. Both parents were with Hope every step of the way on her journey from a healthy preteen to being dependent on crutches to eventually being bedridden. Their heartfelt story includes the times when they were angry and desperate, as well as the times when Hope's humor and spirit shone through. Academy Award winner David S. Ward will direct the feature film, Hope's Wish. Filming is scheduled to begin in mid-January of 2008. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Wonderful!This is a very well written book that allows the reader to really get to know remarkable, young Hope through the eyes of her parents. I would highly recommend it. It is a very engaging book, full of not only poignent moments, but funny ones as well. The story is inspiring on many levels and is a tremendous testament to what one person and one family can do. While there are many families that face death with courage, there are fewer who use it as an opportunity to grow ...

Not a week after moving here, I got the call quick to go to Houston...my dad had developed a terrible life threatening infection from stage 3 colon cancer surgery and asked me to come...in case he didn't make it. Over that two weeks, I paced Barnes N Noble and picked up a few books...ironicallly on June 23...a VERY important date in this book. I picked this book for the title and picture...didn't know anything about it and certainly ... Read More Rating: - This book changed my life. Sometimes it is so easy to get caught up in the "me, me" rat race of life that we forget about the "Big Picture" Mr. and Mrs. Stout and of course Hope Stout has taught me so much about the true meaning of life and the desires to help people, even though we may be faced with tragedy or serious illness. Never give up Hope and always strive to make the world a better place for those who are less fortunate then ourselves. Reading about a young girl going through so much pain and suffering and yet who ...

I really wished I could give EVERYBODY a copy to read. I will be asking all my family to read this wonderful story of faith, family, love and the power of prayer. Rating: - An amazing story about faith in God and the power of a WishStuart and Shelby Stout have incredible faith in God and this story is proof thereof. It has times of laughter, times of tears, and shows how truly faithful some can be in God to bring you through trying times. The wish that Hope requested from Make-A-Wish was so incredible that the media in Charlotte, NC picked it up and ran with it! One little red-head with cancer raising $1 million for those less fortunate than her is truly inspirational. And not to mention it was done in less than 2 months!! ... Read More |
