Virtually all the characters in the novel have failed to live up to their early dreams and ambitions.

When your will is God's will, you will have your will.

Your Heavenly Father's love elevates you to a place where you can dream big dreams— where you can live with purpose, unafraid.

Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than one with all the facts.

As a small child in England, I had this dream of going to Africa. We didn't have any money and I was a girl, so everyone except my mother laughed at it. When I left school, there was no money for me to go to university, so I went to secretarial college and got a job.

There is only one way of victory over the bitterness and rage that comes naturally to us--To will what God wills brings peace.

Faith in God will elevate you to next level blessings.
