Julia's Hope / Along for the Ride Is a memoir from a child's recollection of her early journeys with her single mother in the 1950's and '60's. Julia, pregnant and recently widowed, gave birth to her baby girl and named her Hope, "her last hope". The out of the box and often behind the eight ball scenarios, that they found themselves in, made for an adventurous, inspiring, humorous, heartwarming, heart bending, unique life experience. Armed with Julia's sense of adventure, faith, mind over matter, count your blessings attitude and Hope's resilience and no choice, but to tag along, they managed to be in but not of it. A delightful tale of "never leave room for doubt".
