Knowing good will come enables us to read the story, to go on the journey. The hope enables us to travel through this pain.

We've chatted with a Scotsman, an Englishwoman... and now for someone from Wales! Hannah Hess is an author from Cardiff and we talk about her series of books for kids and teens. Her main characters start from a place of brokenness and we discuss how knowing the end of the story helps us journey through it.

During the episode Hannah reads from her short story 'The Water Maiden of Lealos' which is out in October.
