“You were the most chosen.”

These are the words Miranda Ward spoke to her son after he learned he was conceived through sexual assault. In this week’s episode of Hope Comes to Visit, Miranda shares her extraordinary journey from a moment of unthinkable violation to building a life defined by fierce love, protection, and healing.

With courage, strategy, and an unshakable belief in her intuition, Miranda navigated a system that was never designed to protect her — enduring years of legal battles and threats while raising her son as a solo parent. Today, she’s not only created a safe, loving home, but she’s also turned her experience into wisdom as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, helping others understand their own patterns of connection, disconnection, and healing.

This is a story about reclaiming power, reshaping destiny, and proving that love can transcend trauma.
