A Hope for Hawthorne

by Tom Wiggins

A year after Tommy’s return to Bristow Farms, his daughter Madeline discovers that the picture frame made from the family farmhouse came to her for a reason. Tommy soon makes the unbelievable discovery that the frame serves as a portal to Bristow Farms in the year 1928. Exploring Bristow Farms of yesteryear Tommy makes some startling discoveries that ultimately lead him to believe the reason for the portal is to save his five-year-old Great Aunt Molly; until Old Grandma tells him to Save Them All.
As Tommy deeply examines September 22nd, 1928, he uncovers a dark blemish in Hawthorne’s history. Now, it is up to Tommy, Ernestine, and a special ally to encourage the town to make a big change that may save hundreds of lives and restore Hawthorne’s potential. The question becomes, can Tommy sacrifice his family’s future to create A Hope for Hawthorne?
Something must change to end the September 22nd loop that is now a ninety-three-year curse. One person can change the future. Tommy. Ernestine. Molly. Chester. Madeline. YOU. A Hope for Hawthorne proves that anyone is capable of change and that we all thrive better together.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the much anticipated second book in this three part series, A Hope for Hawthorne! A resident of Hawthorne myself, I was entranced by the imagined Hawthorne of yesteryear. The book instills hope, and reminds us to be courageous in the face of adversity. These lessons are as applicable today, as ever. Wiggins is truly masterful at weaving historical fiction with actual events! A must read for anyone who hopes to effect change or calls themselves a true Hawthornian.

The most fantastic fiction to come out of Florida since The Yearling! A Hope for Hawthorne picks up right where A Happening in Hawthorne leaves off and doesn’t slow down all the way back to 1928!
