Author Visit: Tiffany Hopkins
2025-05-24 17:00 - 18:00
Local author Tiffany Hopkins will be visiting the Pike County Library on Saturday, May 24th at 5:00 with her inspirational book, “What He Built from Broken: A Story of Faith, Hope, and Redemption.”

About the Author: Tiffany Hopkins is a Kentucky-born author, mother of three, and passionate storyteller who writes with raw honesty, heartfelt emotion, and an unwavering faith in God’s redemptive power. Her debut memoir, What He Built from Broken, is a powerful and uplifting journey through pain, healing, and hope — reminding readers that even in life’s darkest moments, beauty can rise from the ashes.
Tiffany didn’t come into her faith until later in her story, which makes her testimony all the more relatable for those still navigating their own path. Through her writing, she hopes to reach the ones who feel unseen, overwhelmed, or broken — showing them they are not alone, and that God is still in the business of restoration.
Her heart is for people, her passion is for truth, and her mission is to lead others to the love of Jesus Christ.

What He Built from Broken: A Story of Faith, Hope, and Redemption
We all carry pieces of brokenness—fragments of pain, heartbreak, and questions we’re afraid to ask out loud. In What He Built from Broken, Tiffany Hopkins invites you into the raw and redemptive journey of a woman who faught her entire life for peace only to discover that God can rebuild a life more beautifully than she ever imagined.
This faith-based memoir is a deeply personal account of love, loss, motherhood, and the relentless pursuit of healing. With honesty and vulnerability, Tiffany opens up about her battles with insecurity, mental illness, and the aching search for worth in people, relationships, and worldly validation. From teenage rebellion and heartbreak to the unraveling of her marriage and rebuilding her life after, Tiffany’s story doesn’t shy away from the hard places. But woven through every page is the steady presence of grace.
More than a memoir, this is a testimony—a reminder that no matter how far we fall, no matter how shattered our lives may seem, God is in the business of restoration. He doesn’t just mend what’s broken. He builds something entirely new from the rubble.
Inside these pages, you’ll find:
A powerful story of transformation rooted in faith
Honest reflections on motherhood, mental health, and healing
A message of hope for anyone who’s felt forgotten, unworthy, or alone
The beauty of God’s timing, mercy, and the people He sends to walk beside us
Whether you’re in the middle of your own storm or on the other side of it, What He Built from Broken will remind you that healing is possible, purpose can rise from pain, and you are never too far gone for redemption. Every chapter is a reflection of the God who never lets go—and the strength He gives us to keep going.
If you’ve ever wondered whether beauty can come from your brokenness… this book was written for you.

**Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the reading, as well as on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Both ebook and paperback available.**

Hummingbirds and Flowers

The relationship between hummingbirds and flowers is an intricate story — and it’s a love affair that benefits both. How do birds recognize good nectar sources? Why do some plants want to attract birds instead of insects? And what does it all have to do with seed production?
With color photos and engaging stories, author, photographer, and field naturalist Nancy Grant offers fascinating insights into the private lives of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. In this presentation you’ll understand what it’s like to be a hummingbird and discover intimate details about their lifestyle.
