A novel for teen girls ages 12-15, “Chasing Hope” is about adventure, mystery, good vs. bad, sprinkled with suspense and romance!
Tired of being a responsible, straight-A student who always follows the rules, Hope Minor wants to rebel and change her “good girl” reputation. So when her best friend invites her to spy on their eccentric middle school secretary, Hope can’t resist. The mission? To see if the rumor is true: did “Miss Lillian” really build a church in her basement?
Little do the girls know, but they are about to encounter a disturbing array of characters, including a husband seeking revenge and a second chance, a larger-than-life radio preacher with a secret, and a lonely, misguided woman who believes her life’s purpose is to save souls.
With more secrets than a teenager’s diary, these dysfunctional adults will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, whether it involves spying, wire-tapping houses, or...mind control. Romance, mystery and danger seem to chase Hope during her Friday night adventure, and what begins as innocent fun ends with some unforgettable life lessons.
If you like teen novels for girls written by authors such as Judy Blume, Laurie Halse Anderson, or Caroline Cooney you are going to love “Chasing Hope”.
Here is sample from Chasing Hope:
What am I doing? She adjusted the sunglasses and pulled the white canvas cap down further to shadow her face.
Only looking.
An imaginary devil and angel were perched precariously on her shoulders, just like in the cartoons.
“Lillian, Lillian, Lillian. You really must stop all this nonsense,” Imaginary Angel chided.
“What do you mean?” Imaginary Devil asked as he craned his head and peered at the angel.
“You know – driving through the suburbs to stalk a fourteen-year-old girl!”
Lillian’s stomach churned, but Imaginary Devil scoffed, “Stalking? She’s merely looking after her.” Lillian ended this mental argument the way she always did – by telling herself that Hope was a family member. Everyone checks in on their loved ones, right?
She unsuccessfully attempted to push the nagging thoughts to the back of her mind, which caused her to swerve, which caused her to narrowly miss hitting two boys passing a football back and forth in the street. A bead of sweat trickled down her forehead and came to rest above her upper lip. She tried to deny her nervousness, but her trembling hands revealed what she instinctively knew: her life was spinning out of control.
