Heartfelt Journey of Love and Growth Between Mother and Son
Tender and timeless, this new release from Palmetto Publishing explores unconditional love, growth, and the emotional journey between a mother and her son. And it's helping fund the future of cancer research. I hope you know Charleston, SC, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- I Hope You Know by Holly Ray Folgia is a touching and sincere exploration of the profound bond between a mother and her child. This moving narrative captures the journey of growth, dependence, and love, intertwining themes of mutual learning and unconditional affection. Through a series of intimate and heartfelt exchanges, Folgia illustrates what a mother and child mean to each other through a rhythmic structure that resonates deeply with readers. The repeated refrain 'I hope you know' emphasizes the emotional weight of each shared sentiment, inviting readers to reflect on and remember their own foundational story unfolds as a dialogue filled with warmth and sincerity, highlighting the unconditional love that binds the characters while acknowledging the inevitability of change. This structure highlights the reciprocal impact of love and understanding, making it universally relatable to readers of all ages. With care and vulnerability, Folgia reminds us that the most profound lessons in life are often shared in quiet moments between those who love us most. I Hope You Know transcends mere storytelling; it celebrates the connections that shape our lives and the lessons that guide us through life's various stages. This enlightening exploration serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of these bonds, making it a meaningful memento for anyone embarking on new journeys or cherishing precious Ray Folgia arranged the narrative to resonate emotionally, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences and the significance of shared moments-and this is where the book triumphs. Folgia notes, 'I wanted to create a book that resonates with families with the message that parents and guardians have so many opportunities to positively impact a child's life. The book is one that can celebrate any of life's milestones, whether it's a birthday, graduation, a wedding, or the birth of a newborn'. Although I Hope You Know was originally written in 2007, when Holly's sons were just eight and two years old, it remained a personal reflection tucked away-literally-until extraordinary life circumstances gave it new urgency. In October of 2024, when Holly and her mother were both unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer at the same time, the manuscript took on a deeper significance. What began as a quiet tribute to motherhood became a powerful expression of love, resilience, and legacy. Holly made the decision to publish the book and donate a portion of its proceeds to Memorial Sloan Kettering's ovarian cancer and fallopian tube cancer research—transforming a private message into a public mission of hope and healing. 'Publishing I Hope You Know became very purposeful: to give back and to help fund the research that will give others hope.' Readers will find at the back of the book ways to further donate to Memorial Sloan Kettering and to Break Through Cancer. I Hope You Know is not just a book-it is a keepsake. The book is celebration of the enduring connections that define us, ensuring its heartfelt messages will be treasured by readers of all ages for years to come.I Hope You Know is available for purchase online at and more information about the author, please visit Ms. Folgia's social media platform.

TVLine's Performer of the Week: Elisabeth Moss
THE PERFORMER | Elisabeth Moss THE SHOW | The Handmaid's Tale More from TVLine Your Friends & Neighbors Finale Reveals Who Killed Paul - Will You Come Back for Season 2? The Morning Show Sets Season 4 Premiere Date, Confirms Jon Hamm's Return - See First Photos The Handmaid's Tale Boss Reveals the Character He Almost Killed Off in the Series Finale (But Didn't) THE EPISODE | 'The Handmaid's Tale' (May 27, 2025) THE PERFORMANCE | We'll admit: We're not entirely sure how June survived to see the end of The Handmaid's Tale. But praise be that she did, because Elisabeth Moss was utterly magnificent in the series' final episode. Moss has repeatedly demonstrated how June's inner strength carried her through situations that should have destroyed her. That internal fortitude became second nature to the character, and Moss' direct gaze into the camera — so often employed when all hope seemed lost — became a powerful signal that June would not be broken. But with Gilead's defeat (in Boston, at least), June suddenly found herself on uneven footing. What does the de facto leader of a rebellion do when she's suddenly faced with choices for her future? Or, more startlingly, a future at all? The emotional armor with which Moss fortified her character was considerable — and even more striking when it fell away, as it did in the scenes with June's baby daughter, Nichole, and her mom, Holly. First, June confessed to her child that she couldn't stay to raise her while Gilead's horrors raged elsewhere, especially with Nichole's sister, Hannah, still in the theocracy's grasp. Moss' whispered monologue gave way to tears as the reality of the situation consumed June, all of her feelings of failure and shame pouring out when she and Holly discussed the future. It was the most vulnerable we'd seen June in a long time, and Moss was absolutely stunning. We'd be remiss not to highlight the serenity Moss imbued in June as the hour came to a close and her story began anew. Here was a character who'd endured unimaginable suffering but emerged stronger, played by an actress at the top of her craft. Nolite te bastardes carborundorum, indeed. Scroll down to see who got Honorable Mention shout-outs this week… Paddy Considine's Kevin is one of the few Harrigans who operates on an even keel, which made the character's breakdown in Sunday's MobLand all the more shocking. Another reason? Considine's striking performance as Conrad's son finally confronted the trauma he'd carried for years. The emotional maelstrom began with Kevin calmly marveling at the fact that the man who had repeatedly raped him in juvenile detention didn't even remember his name or face. But the disbelief on Considine's face quickly gave way to pain, his voice wavering as he told the former guard that he had ruined his life. Almost as soon as he pulled his gun, Kevin fell apart — Considine slumping in his chair, folding in on himself as he sobbed. Then, when his rapist had the audacity to mention his children, Considine snapped Kevin back into his sense of duty, pulling an emotional about-face so swiftly we're still reeling. It turns out Kevin is a looser cannon than we'd imagined, and we're eager to see what Considine does with him in this week's season finale. — K.R. Your Friends & Neighbors threw a bunch of plot twists at us in its freshman season, but one constant was the surprisingly tender relationship between exes Coop and Mel, brought to life by co-stars Jon Hamm and Amanda Peet. Hamm found some of Coop's warmest moments playing against Mel, and Peet refused to turn Mel into a stereotypically vengeful ex-wife. In this week's finale, both actors were hitting on all cylinders as Mel confronted Coop about his upcoming murder trial. Peet let us see how truly worried Mel was about Coop's future, and Hamm unleashed a season's worth of frustrations in a shouting tirade. In the end, Coop was exonerated, and Hamm and Peet showed us a bit of the old spark between Coop and Mel as they slow-danced at a swanky gala. The fancy cars and daring robberies might grab the headlines, but Hamm and Peet's stellar work made sure that Coop and Mel's relationship was the secret heart of it all. — Dave Nemetz Most sincerely, it boils down to this: If I hadn't known that Archie Panjabi would be appearing on Doctor Who this season, I'm not entirely sure I would have recognized her as the Rani — especially when she fully embodied the character in this week's 'Wish World.' As a new form of the iconic Whoniverse villain, Panjabi adopted a swagger that would humble even Kalinda Sharma, and put an amount of Colman's mustard on her line readings that could have dressed a hundred frankfurters. The Rani is a ruthless, renegade Time Lord, and Panjabi fittingly went all in with her performance, with animated movements that in ways evoked the Wicked Witch of the West. It's Friday night as I write this, so I'm curious to see what the finale holds for Panjabi's high-camp villainess. But it's sure to be one hell of a time. — Matt Webb Mitovich Which performance(s) knocked your socks off this week? Tell us in the comments!
