ST. GEORGE, Utah - s4story -- Linda Weaver Clarke is the author of the historical romance The Light at the End of the Tunnel. When asked about this novella, she said, "Everyone has challenges in their lives. Many wonder if they are the only ones who are experiencing difficulties. Some people feel that each trial they have endured was so challenging and wondered where the light at the end of the tunnel was. But they are not alone. Others have walked the same path and these trials have made them stronger in many ways."

Author Linda Weaver Clarke wrote a historical romance based on this subject, using the inspiration of her great grandmother Hannah who came to America in the mid-1800s. On the ship from England, Hannah's one-year-old daughter became very ill, which resulted in deafness. Two years later, her husband was murdered on the streets of St. Louis, Missouri. Having never worked outside her home before, Hannah took a job as a maid at a hotel in St. Louis, hoping to earn enough money to move on. She was a courageous woman and did not give up.

In the novella, The Light at the End of the Tunnel, Hannah is a young single mother who has had some hardships since arriving in America, along with raising her little girl who is deaf. But her trials only make her stronger. Wanting to be independent, she opens a hot chocolate shop. At first, it's a struggle. But she will not give up.
