Our lives are naturally translucent, keeping certain private things hidden from public view. Dr. George Copes book, God Knows Where You Live, is he perfect demonstration of the state of being divinely transparent, unashamedly sharing his personal stories freely. This book is truly a gift that will empower you to live and inspire you to unveil your testimony to the watching world. -Bishop Allen T.D. Wiggins, The Hope Church of Orlando One thing is for sure, when I am feeling despondent and discouraged, I am going to once again read George Copes journey, God Knows Where You Live. It is vitamins for the soul! -John A. Kilpatrick Founder and Senior Pastor Church of His Presence Daphne, Alabama

At age forty-five – her life a mess – Cora Gordon was persuaded to reinvent herself as an artist. Cora paid for her decision with agonies of self-doubt; but prodded by family and friends, she bent to her talents and found acceptance as a rising sculptor. Years later, now almost eighty – celebrated for her art and longevity – Cora is upset to learn that a troublemaker from her past has attacked the posthumous reputation of photographer Thorold Carey, a headstrong friend from her hardscrabble days. As she reflects on past struggles with the countering claims of art, love and loyalty – on the colleagues and relatives who regularly made life so hard – Cora feels more than ever grateful to Carey, for being there when she needed him – for his enduring inspiration. A vindication of her obstreperous friend, Cora's is a wry tale of two mid-lives in disarray and of the circumstances that brought them together; lives seeming to have little in common – unlikely to benefit from second chances.
