Things in life happen for a reason; many times we do not know why. Unseen forces influence actions, and what is seen is not always the truth; however, sometimes what we see is unbelievably true. It strains our understanding to the limits and tests our beliefs. Will adversity make us stronger mentally, physically, and spiritually? Or will it break us?

Set in Skagit County, Washington, and surrounding area, Hope Rising is the story of a private detective who, along with a retired special ops qualified naval intelligence officer, an artist, and a couple of hackers, is drawn into an investigation involving murder, suicide, lust, corruption, angels, demons, and the power of faith. Behind the scenes, angels and demons vie for souls on the battlefield of free will, unseen by most humans. Will faith be a strong enough weapon against the treachery and machinations of demons? Will corrupt, power-hungry, and greedy people be allowed to continue their urges and ambitions unabated? Or will truth prevail and evil be brought into the light?
