Review

" A marvelous debut." ~ Readers Favorite
"At first readers might believe Hope for Garbage to be a predictable story of survival; but it's much more.  Within the saga of Trevor's uncertain world and the forces that control and dictate it, is a story of boundaries, rules, dreams, and how the human spirit survives under the direst of conditions." - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"The fulfilling story of a young man who can turn trash into treasure." - Kirkus Reviews

"Not a lot of novels affect me in such a visceral way, but Hope for Garbage did." - Ellen Zacarias, College News Magazine
