Laugh a little.

Cry a little.

Love a lot.

Hope Remains

It wasn’t hard to settle on these words to represent what I pray to offer my readers because this truth has followed me through many difficult experiences and circumstances in my own life.

Crises. Abuse. Loss. Sickness. Trauma. Tragedy. Devastated relationships.

Help. Love. Redemption. Healing. Forgiveness. Restoration. Hope.

This is my story…that Hope Remains.

Hi, I’m Jessica!

A woman smiling in front of a glass window outdoors, wearing a white top and blue jeans.
Jessica Stone with her mother and daughter.

And this is my mom, Vicky, and my daughter, Kaylee! (Aren’t they just lovely?)

The complexities of mother-daughter relationships are the basis of many of my stories. I find myself inspired by the Gilmore Girls-esque connection I have with Kaylee, who is living out her dreams as a fashion designer in Paris, and my graciously sweet mom, Vicky, who I spend time with every single week!

Whether I’m at home pushing one of my cats off my keyboard or sipping espresso in a Parisian café, you’re sure to find me writing contemporary women’s fiction and cleverly thought-provoking romantic comedies that point to Jesus.

Stories about life.

Some stories about love.

All stories about hope.
