Ever wonder why someone chooses to write a novel? What could inspire an author to sit in front of a computer for endless months as they mess with words and plot and characters?
For author Tom Davis, novels are born from a desire to make a real impact in a broken world:

Sometimes the heart of a novel is as simple as the smile of a child. In Tom’s debut novel, SCARED, a young AIDS orphan named Adanna fights for survival in a community ravaged by tragedy and disease. But in the face of overwhelming odds, Adanna finds hope in a special dream, where she is visited by an illuminated man and given a precious gift.

This Christmas, as you give and receive gifts, will you remember children like Adanna and Hiatt? Will you add the gift of hope to those you’ve already purchased? She Reads has partnered with Tom Davis and his ministry, Children’s Hopechest, to make a difference in the lives of very real children. We’d like to guide you across the intersection of faith and fiction as well.

Tom, thanks for your video blogs! I can’t wait to share them with my family. I’m on staff with Proverbs 31 Ministries and our family just adopted a one year old little girl (Aster) from Ethiopia in October. I love your heart and your books! “Fields of the Fatherless” was instrumental in our calling to adopt! We are so thankful for what you are doing for orphans I posted a link on my blog and FB page, sending friends to find our more about HopeChest and your novel, Scared. ~ Blessings, Renee Swope
Hi Renee! Just connected with you via FB and Twitter. I love what you are doing to be a practical expression of the hands and feet of Jesus. Thanks!
