Fragrant Hope — Debbie Roome

What do a social worker, a painter, and the child of a prostitute dying from AIDS have in common? Fragrant Hope tells the story of Pumzile, Joshua, and Buhle, and traces their journey of heartache and loss. Can God's love bring healing where rejection has run rampant? Can Buhle's dream for a family of her own be realised? Full of local detail and culture, the story plays out against the backdrop of Johannesburg, the slums of Hillbrow, and the wildness of rural Zululand. Fragrant Hope is the sequel to Contagious Hope which was a finalist for the Australasian CALEB Award in 2013.
