WILLOW SPRING, NC – North Carolina author Joyce Hope takes readers on an amazing adventure with the themes of hope and justice, along with a lesson in history, in her inspirational novel releasing nationwide this month, “Joy Comes in the Morning.”

Set in post-Civil War America, the book tells the story of a young woman who awakens in a Southern home with no memory of how she got there after being abused by her former Union soldier husband. The author delivers a solid story of hope, faith, romance, and justice in this compelling new novel.

Lauren MJ Connelly, published freelance writer and blogger at www.puremama.com, says the book “is destined to become an instant classic. This beautiful novel has the potential for being developed into other forms of media a la the works of Laura Ingalls Wilder or the Brontë sisters.”

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available at any bookstore nationwide or can be ordered through the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore or by visiting barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com or target.com.

Joyce Hope Jones attended The King’s College and Penn State University to study for degrees in both music and French. She has recently completed state-funded medical courses through which she developed a passion for studying the effects of herbal healing remedies.

Now an “empty-nester” with three grown children and six young grandchildren, she has directed her knowledge into a lifelong goal—writing Christian romance novels with great spiritual substance. She currently resides in Willow Spring, North Carolina.
