The chaos of her formative years, which are littered with violent episodes, periods of hunger and assaults, leads Hope to set off on her own at the age of fifteen.</p><p>Written as intense past moments, reflective chapters, and flash-forwards, these three voices come together to transcend time and connect the past and the present. Honest and raw, with no request for empathy or complaint, the book is a celebration of the human spirit and an exhilarating read. <em>Hopey</em> is a reminder that we can love, we can believe, and we, too, can be successful beyond all expectations--if we only dare to hope.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"<em>Wow. Intense. Emotional. Poignant. I feel blessed to have had this pre-read. Hope has an amazing gift for story-telling. Lots of highlights stand out. I think the college entry exam story got to me the most, as well as the pacts she makes with her daughters and mother." </em><strong>Harry Jeffries </strong></p><p><em>"I finished the book in one night!! I WANT MORE OMG! It is an amazing read! I loved it. It really brought me back to my childhood. So amazing! I was reading between baseball innings at a game! I could not stop until it was finished!" <strong> </strong></em><strong>Jody Haas</strong></p><p>"<em>Page turner! From the very first page, I had trouble putting it down and would stay up way too late reading it. The writing, content, and storytelling style is captivating." </em><strong>Jennifer Hottell </strong></p><p> </p><p><em>"I LOVE this book. I spent many nights staying up too late to finish it. The framework of alternating time frames really works and it's important for the reader to have a reprieve from the intensity of the past. Holy cow. What a life this young lady has had." </em><strong> Jane Banning</strong></p><p><em>"I did not stop reading it until I read the last word. It was so honest and brave. I grieved for what the little girl endured and I cheered for her as she fought to find her way. Such a story of courage, unconditional love and insight.</em> " <strong>Audra Coleman</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><em>"The book exemplifies this authors ability to put the reader in her shoes, what was normal for her as a child and early teen. Reading the early years made me want to go back and save her. Those times came together to shape her and turn her life into something amazing and inspirational. There is so much left unwritten. I only hope that she will continue this journey with her readers." </em><strong>Susan Chambers </strong></p><br>
