A powerful life journey of a man who did not only learn to live with his medical disorders but saw this as opportunity to cherish life and all the bitter-sweet gifts it brought with it. It is a story of strong will, perseverance and optimism which will move you to wonder if whether at all there are any limitations in life. Is sky really the limit? Is the end really the end? Life is too beautiful to whine over what we do not have. Disappointments are as significant as our victories but the important thing is to remember that nothing good ever gets away! There is happiness and joy in every aspect, we just need to look harder and look in the right places. There are a million people like myself who have had dreams of a happy wholesome life but their illness prevented them from it. They have felt alone and helpless like I did once upon a time but ultimately even if we are all alone, we are together in it. There is an intangible string that ties all the rights together and ultimately things fall into place because happiness isn't a destination, it is a journey of faith and persistence. What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters as compared to what lies inside us.
Starting from the cover to the title its beautiful and looks interesting. Title is perfect for the story. title touched my heart after reading the book.Its a combination of hope, love, friendship, emotions, dreams and survival.

The language of the book is simple which will make it easy to read for the reader. Each of the characters whether negative or positive was sketched well and blended with the plot just perfectly making the story move smoothly. Inside the heart of hope is a simple yet a meaningful story about love, hope, faith and relationships. The book in itself is an inspiration and an eye-opener for those who gives up too soon. Where there is hope, there is life and this book certainly explains it well.
I would like to recommend all romantic book lovers.
