Daughter of Hope : 9781512709889

By all outward appearances, the Hamiltons look like any normal American family, but behind closed doors lies a different story. At the center of this family is fourteen-year-old Hope. Deprived of her father's love and attention, and constantly bullied at school, Hope longs for acceptance. The one place she finds solace and refuge is at the dance studio, where Ms. Davidson encourages her to use her gift. But no amount of encouragement can completely free Hope from a self-deprecating attitude and an ingrained insecurity over her father's lack of interest in her.

When an opportunity arises and Hope finds herself at center stage, it seems like things might be looking up for her. But when her world comes crashing down and the dust settles, she is faced with untold truths about her family's past. On one of the worst days of her life, Hope has a brief, unexplainable encounter with someone who changes her course and puts her on a path to finding forgiveness, healing, and ultimately the love and acceptance she has always longed for.
