GIDEON'S JOURNEY
Genre: Women's Fiction, Inspirational

Hope Langley was an up and coming artist with an enviable lifestyle, living in an idyllic country town with a handsome partner and a loving family. “Life couldn’t get any better than this”, she thought until a cruel twist of fate threatened to change the course of her life forever. Paralysed in a car accident and hovering between life and death, Hope survived against all odds. Alone after her partner left and with her self-esteem at an all time low, she was forced to re-assess her life. Then came the inevitable question, “Why me?” Gideon, her guardian angel appeared to her when she was at her lowest ebb, coming down to earth to help her in her darkest hours and falling in love with her in the process. It was almost like he was looking at a mirror image of his past. Hope reminded him so much of a loved one he had lost in another lifetime. He knew from the start it was going to be a tough assignment. Falling in love with a mortal girl was frowned upon in his world. His time on earth had long since passed and his job now was to be a messenger of God, travelling between this world and the next, helping others who have lost their way. At first Hope didn’t want to believe Gideon was real. She had never been a religious person. “Why don’t you just climb back up on top of whatever Christmas tree you fell off?” she had remarked. “We angels are not just ornaments on top of Christmas trees. That’s just how society portrays us. Like you we all have a purpose in life, to help those who really need us. There are many of us around, each with our own special qualities,” was Gideon’s response.

One day at a time with Gideon’s help, Hope embraced some of the biggest challenges of her entire life, despite the difficult road ahead. Her priorities changed as she had new, more important goals to focus on, the most important one involving her adjustment to a whole new way of life. Hope remembered what Gideon once said to her, “Life is a journey. It has its highs and its lows. There are times when you just have to ride with it. Sometimes you never appreciate what you have in this life until you lose it. Many people wish they had done things differently when they were on this earth. The road to heaven is paved with good intentions.” Hope had come so far and achieved so much but she couldn’t give up just because she was in a wheelchair. She still had a purpose and a destiny to fulfil on earth. Hope thought how lucky she was compared to other people in her situation. She kept remembering what Gideon had said to her soon after they first met, “We are all capable of doing amazing things if we believe in ourselves.” Her life had been saved for a reason as she resolved to make a difference for herself and others, fighting back against all adversity and finding her true vocation.

Meet Author Trish Ostroski

Trish Ostroski has had a varied, interesting life. Having served in the United States Peace Corps 2013-2015 in Moldova in Eastern Europe, a former Soviet nation, where there are approximately three million residents, she had many adventures and powerful experiences.

Prior to the Peace Corps, Trish was active in the entertainment industry in Hollywood as a playwright, theatrical reviewer, performer, writer, speaker and more. While in Los Angeles, she worked in advertising as well as with video, print, radio, television and more. Yes, that degree in Mass Media and Communications from the University of Akron eventually paid off.

With more than 500 articles published in newspapers and magazines, she also co-authored a few books, and performed standup comedy at the famous Ice House in Pasadena. She shared the stage with Joan Van Ark, Lee Meriwether, Lainie Kazan, and Debbie Reynolds.

Then Ostroski switched gears by training to become a hypnotherapist. Somewhere in the middle, she survived the Northridge Earthquake, lost her car which was flat as a pancake, dealt with her condo that became rubble that fateful day in January of 1994 and lost lots of stuff. In reflection, it was just another journey in life's marathon.

Her recent book, There's a Rooster in My Bathroom, details many wonderful stories and experiences that few others have. Trish currently lives in Ohio.
