Finding Hope
Shannon Symonds, Lisa Rector, Haley Miller

She’s hiding in her present.
With nothing but her guitar and a few belongings, Hope Flanagan feels safer on the street than at home with her mother’s boyfriend. Hope is lucky enough to find a warm exhaust vent in an alley of her coastal town and blessed with help from a coffee-shop employee who sees her desperate situation. But, Hope is determined to stay under the radar from social services and the other homeless kids, who seem to go missing once they fall under the notice of the local homeless tough girl.
She’s hiding from her past.
Grace James works with the police to help survivors of abuse while desperately fighting to keep her own family safe from her vindictive ex-husband. News of her husband’s release from prison pushes her to accept help from a friend, Officer Joe Hart. But then her mother brings home a stray from her coffee shop, and Grace finds herself catapulting through her fears to do for Hope what she just might not be able to do for herself—find a way to keep her safe before it’s too late.
