Emmaline Hoffmeister

In recognition of outstanding literary excellence and inspirational storytelling, the Northwest Faith & Fiction Awards proudly bestows the Eternal Perspective Christian Literary Award upon Emmaline Hoffmeister for her exceptional novel, Left Behind.

Through her compelling narrative and unwavering commitment to faith-based fiction, Emmaline Hoffmeister has illuminated eternal truths, touched the hearts of readers, and demonstrated the power of Christian literature to inspire, uplift, and transform lives.

Book Description:

In the secluded Upper Wenatchee River Valley, 16-year-old Noah’s life changes in an instant. His family’s 120-year-old orchard—a heritage saved by a last-chance lease—has survived everything nature has thrown its way. But nothing could prepare Noah for the storm that would rip his family apart. 

On a treacherous winter drive to the airport, as his brother leaves on a mission, tragedy strikes: a devastating car accident claims Noah’s father and leaves his mother in a coma following multiple life-threatening surgeries. Noah himself is seriously injured. With his world shattered, he’s left to hold together the splintered pieces, grappling with grief, overwhelming responsibility, and a fierce battle with his faith.

As Noah faces the daunting task of caring for his fragile mother and building a new normal for them both, he makes heart-wrenching choices—parting with his supportive grandparents so he can step up on his own, sacrificing his plans to let his brother continue his mission, and discovering strength in the face of unimaginable loss.

Left Behind is an unforgettable journey of love, sacrifice, and resilience. Through Noah’s eyes, readers will discover that miracles sometimes emerge in life’s darkest moments, transforming heartache into hope and loss into unshakable faith.
