SEPTEMBER, 2019 HOPE By: Seelie Kay The Plot: No one knows what they‟re made of until they‟re broken. At the tender age of twenty-two, Hope Ali has finally joined the organization of her dreams, the Agency, an elite group of attorneys who go undercover to right wrongs the law can‟t. Now, after breezing through the Agency training program, Hope appears to be indestructible—until she is assigned a simple task during the rescue of an au- thor among the disappeared in the United Arab Emirates. The task? To distract the woman‟s captors until she can be spirited out of the country. Unfortunately, a member of MI-Six has other plans. Hope is attacked by an angry mob and left bloody and broken. No one knows whether Hope‟s body or her mind will heal. Suddenly, Hope is no longer just her name. It is also the one thing she must embrace to find her new normal. An Excerpt Hope snapped, “Don‟t you think I know that? God, every- one seems duty-bound to remind me of that every damn day. I‟m not a child. I know my limits. I know my weaknesses. You don‟t have to bludgeon me over the head with a cudgel.” Dianna‟s expression hardened. “Here‟s the thing, Hope. The second you begin to believe that you can overcome every obsta- cle put in front of you is the day you should quit. Confidence is one thing. Feeling that you‟re omniscient is another. Out in the field, fear is what drives you, and it could very well be what saves you. I don‟t need you taking stupid chances because you think you‟re Wonder Woman, able to thwart every threat. I need you to calmly assess each situation and rationally weigh the risks. You need to know when to walk away. Just as you need to know when a risk is worth taking. You have no real superpowers, woman. And you need to remember that. That‟s why you‟re on probation until we‟re confident you can survive, Probie. Reviews Welcome.
