Hope Delaney is exhausted by her battle with alcohol and her shameful failures with men. When a desperate, wealthy matriarch seeks her help for the summer, she reluctantly accepts the job. Hope leaves her teaching position at the World’s End ranch and humbles herself, cleaning up after a fire that has destroyed much of an abandoned turn-of-the-century hotel that the locals claim is haunted. While trapped in this small Texas town in blistering July, passions bubble up along with the heat. Hope’s complicated feelings of lust, self doubt, and a lifelong distrust of men threaten to destroy a newfound love interest. Her quest intensifies as lies are exposed and supernatural help is offered to battle the abusive demons of her past. Is she courageous enough to face the truth? Hope must risk her reputation and her sanity by ripping through the veil between dimensions in search of answers that will heal and redeem her broken soul, unlocking the chains around her heart.

Pride and Prejudice: A Play is a dramatization based on Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" novel. It was originally published in 1906.

Mary-Keith Dickinson's captivating novel, A Divine Scavenger Hunt, paints the picture of a complex, spiritually hungry young woman who, at a great cost to mind and body, has spent her adult life chasing and stripping off the spiritual disguises that sometimes shroud truth. Led to a terrifying crossroads, she cannot escape the demons of her past. Discovering that her marriage is built on a lie and that she no longer trusts the philosophy she teaches, she uncovers an abyss of despair hiding in her heart. To regain her footing, Hope escapes to the beach for a long weekend. A Divine Scavenger Hunt transports the reader to a place we have all longed to go-through a supernatural encounter with a force beyond understanding, Hope begins to unravel the knots of what she believes and realizes that truth-with a capital T-is at her fingertips.

Due to matters both in and out of her control, Hope Delaney’s world has started to crumble, causing all her carefully sculpted and maintained misconceptions about herself, her past and current relationship skills to implode, disappearing into an abyss that has opened beneath her feet. All her university degrees and periodic attempts to seek the truth about life and love through other spiritual and metaphysical avenues have “dead-ended” against the brick wall of anger and denial, leaving her future shrouded in mists of despair and disillusionment. Without her old life and identity, Hope is faced with finding her way in a world she doesn’t understand anymore. In this two-part journey, Hope flees for her life to escape her demons, first to the beach and then to the desert of south Texas, where she makes a paranormal discovery manifesting from a place of infinite possibilities, shocking and stimulating her to look beyond the wreckage of her past and explore a new set of puzzle pieces glittering at her from the cosmic dust.
