- "The international nursing community owes a debt of gratitude to Dr. Parse. The comments in this review do not convey the beauty, tenderness, pathos, and wonder experienced by the reader in response to the participants' sharing. For this experience alone, this is a book for all nurses."

"...an excellent literature review on the concept and research studies that illuminate the concept...The process of research using the theory of human becoming is well-explained and the concept of hope is well-developed. Tables are excellent throughout and provide a blueprint of each contributor's thinking in developing the concept...This book provides a unique contribution to the field of nursing that is useful to other disciplines."
