This program is read by the writer

Elizabeth Smart follows up her #1 NY Situations bestseller, My Story-about being kept in captivity as an adolescent, and how she managed to survive-with a robust and motivating audiobook in what it requires to overcome trauma, find the strength to move on, and about Where There’s Hope: Healing, CONTINUE, and Never Giving Up reclaim one’s life.

Writer. Activist. Victim-no more.

In her fearless memoir, My Story-the basis from the Lifetime Original movie I Am Elizabeth Smart-Elizabeth detailed, for the first time, the horror behind the headlines of her abduction by religious fanatic Brian David Mitchell and his wife, Wanda Barzee. Since that time, she’s married, become a mom, and journeyed the world as the leader from the Elizabeth Smart Foundation, sharing her story using the purpose of helping others on the way.

Again and again, Elizabeth is asked the same query: How will you get the hope to go on? With this audiobook, Elizabeth profits to the horrific encounters she endured, and the hard-won lessons she learned, to supply answers. She also phone calls upon other people who have dealt with adversity-victims of assault, disease, war, and loss-to explore the pathways toward wish.

Through conversations with such well-known voices as Anne Romney, Diane Von Furstenburg, and Mandy Patinkin to spiritual leaders Archbishop John C. Wester and Elder Richard Hinckley to her very own parents, Elizabeth uncovers an even greater sense of solace and understanding. Where There’s Wish is the result of Elizabeth’s mission: It really is both an up-close-and-personal glimpse into her healing up process and a heartfelt how-to information for readers to create peace with days gone by and embrace the near future.

From the audiobook:

“I was not ready to accept that my fate was to live unhappily ever after. Everything-my family, my house, my chance to go to school-had been given back if you ask me, and I didn’t want to miss a second chance of living my own life.” -Elizabeth Wise

“You can find two types of survivors: the types who didn’t die, and those who live. You will see those who will remember and become the victim, and ones who simply won’t. You must go on, you must learn, and you have to heal.” -Diane von Furstenberg
