Book Description
Life is rarely what we want it to be, that is something we can know for a certainty. Sometimes it takes twists and turns that drag us into places that we never thought we would see. So it was for Dewey, James and their mother, Belinda. This is the story of a few people put to tests that made them doubt that there was ever any hope in their future. However, the funny thing about a future is that it has so many curves, mountains and valleys in it that we cannot truly see what really is there; and Hope can be a faraway place. We see, instead, sometimes what seems to be close up and hopeless. Can a simple photo of two people playing change lives? Why, for instance, does one of Dewey's grandfathers want to kill his mother, while the other only wants to ruin her life? Why does a Federal Judge intervene in a set of lives three thousand miles away? Why does the mere existence of Belinda, Dewey and James threaten the structure of a county government that they have left far behind?

Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
She couldn't think of a time when she wasn't in the system. There had to be some time. People aren't just born and put into a treatment center, right? Sometime in her past, there had to be a point where she was a normal kid, living with some semblance of a normal family, in something resembling a normal house. Hope Bruin isn't the average fourteen-year-old. She's been in foster care all her life, bouncing from home to home, family to family. This means her unanswered questions about herself and her past are infinite. And her questions are only multiplying. With her strange dreams about poisonous green eyes, bony hands veiled by cloaks, and a majestic bear, Hope's attention is often pulled away to a secret world. Just when things start to fall into place for Hope for the first time, her mysterious dreams start to become reality, and she is visited by creatures and spirits who are anything but human. Hope finds out that she is supernaturally connected to one of the beings from her dream, and now she has to become one with a creature she knows little about. What secrets do Hope's strange dreams hold? Would she actually want to know? Will she ever be normal? In Hope Rising, readers will go on a fantastic journey with a very different kind of girl who learns that even the most seemingly unloved people can have larger-than-life destinies.

Book Description
In the dead of night, a young woman is found on the doorstep of the House of Help for Friendless Girls... Winter 1885. Matron Hetty Barlow suspects Hope is lying when she claims to be suffering from amnesia. The girl is taken in, but it isn’t long before her pregnancy is discovered, which could put the future of the house – a new experiment in dealing with destitute women – in jeopardy. Hetty’s future depends on keeping her position as matron. They named her Hope, but Emma Hyde knows she can’t keep up her deception forever. She’s hundreds of miles away from home, but her well-to-do parents will be searching for her. Amelia yearns to break away from her overbearing sister, Hetty. She meets a man who offers an escape, but her ticket to freedom means revealing Emma’s secrets. Will she betray a friend for a chance at a new life? Gripping, emotional and inspiring, this Victorian saga is perfect for fans of Kitty Neale, Emma Hornby and Dilly Court. Praise for The House of Hope 'A moving and passionate story of three women; two who are keeping their secrets close to their hearts and one who is willing to give her heart away in exchange for love. They all arrive at this house that promises safety and free from harm, but are they brave enough, honest enough, to tell their compelling stories and reveal the truth or forever live a lie?' Val Wood 'I thoroughly enjoyed The House of Hope, it is well written and gives a vivid insight into the life of working class girls. Joanne brings her characters to life and I was hooked from the first page.' Lyn Andrews 'A beautiful intertwined story of three very different women, all hiding dark secrets from the past, and the healing and hope they find in one of Britain’s first women’s refuge. The House of Hope is an emotional and uplifting tribute to the power of female friendship' Judy Summers
