| Publisher Description: Hopeless, an orphan slave girl who inherited an insurmountable debt at birth, faces a despairing life of oppression along with her only friend, Athaliah. But unlike the rest of the slaves held under the malicious Master Omri, Hopeless has an unexplainable urge to risk everything on the faintest hope of finding freedom. Afraid to even acknowledge her desires, she still longs for the impossible--to reach the king and queen, receive their protection from her owner, and someday return to rescue Athaliah. Little does Hopeless know that meeting the royal family will change her life forever, marking only the beginning of her dreams which are about to take shape in a way she never imagined possible... This story inspires hope in the darkest circumstances, courage to face the past, and acceptance of one's true self. It demonstrates the power of sacrifice, forgiveness, mercy, and unconditional love. |
