REACH FOR HOPE (DESERT OF DREAMS BOOK 2)

Carolyn was taught to fear God, but the only being she ever feared was her dad. When her father moves the family out to the desolate town of Lake Los Angeles, she’s torn from the protection of her uncle and feels isolated.

What matters most to her is protecting her two younger brothers, Charlie and Chris, from the harsh desert life—scorching heat, unforgiving terrain, and deadly creatures—and from her military dad, brutal commander of both wife and kids.

After a bloody incident at school reveals she has no one to count on for help, Carolyn learns that she must look out for herself, because no one else will. With her combat boots and tough exterior, she pushes everyone away, including the girls who befriend her and the boy who pursues her. Behind the walls she has built from all of her pain, can she learn to trust again?

Used to being silenced, Carolyn must find the power to stand up for herself, so that she can stand up to her dad.

A brighter future is out there. Can she reach for hope long enough to find it?
