Jim Folgia, (Turner Vice President & Construction Executive), wife, Holly Ray Folgia, was diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer in October 2024. Thanks to Turner and its Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Care Program, Holly is receiving a promising clinical trial.  Thank you for your support, and for being part of this chapter in our lives. 

To give back to a vital cause, Holly and Jim have established The Rooted Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing research on ovarian and fallopian tube cancers. The Rooted Foundation funds cutting-edge research and promotes awareness of early detection and prevention.

Through a collaboration with the Turner Store, the book is now offered for purchase from the site, and 100% of all sales of the book on the Turner Store will go directly to ovarian and fallopian tube cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering.  

We invite you to support this effort by ordering your copies of the book,  sharing it with someone who would find comfort or joy in its pages, and helping us spread the word.  Our goal is to sell 500,000 copies.  With your help in getting the message out there, and with focused patronage, we can make a significant impact.

In I Hope You Know, delve into a touching and resonant narrative that explores the unique bond between a parent and child. This heartfelt tale provides a profound exploration of growth, mutual learning, and the deep-seated love that exists between a parent and their offspring.

The book is an intricate tapestry of emotions, capturing the essence of life's most poignant moments. It encapsulates the journey of growth from dependence to independence, serving as a lyrical exploration of life's transitions. The narrative is not just about change, but also about the steadfastness of love, symbolizing the tether that links the hearts of a parent and child, irrespective of the stages of life they are in.

I Hope You Know utilizes the recurring phrase, I hope you know, instilling a comforting rhythm that underscores the emotional gravity of each statement. It's a moving dialogue between a mother and her child, a testament to their evolving relationship and the immeasurable impact they have on one another. The conversations reveal a parent's hopes, dreams, and fears for their child, and reciprocally, the child's realization of their parent's significance in their life.

The alternating cadence of the parent's and child's voices creates a rhythm that is both soothing and profound, mirroring the ebb and flow of life itself. The narrative beautifully captures the changing dynamics of their relationship, the shifting roles, and the inevitable transformations that come with growth and time.

I Hope You Know is more than a book, it's a heartfelt tribute to the unconditional love that exists between a parent and a child. It is a testament to the lessons learned, the love shared, and the changes embraced. This deeply moving narrative is bound to leave an indelible mark on readers, making them reflect on their own relationships and the everlasting bond of love and growth.
