A STORY OF LOVE AND UNPREDICTABLE SUSPENSE

By: Lisa Slater

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In "Chancing Hope," readers are introduced to Kerwyn Bartel, a skilled young horse trainer with an uncanny ability to recognize a horse's potential and help them overcome their fears. However, applying these same instincts to his own life proves to be much more challenging. Kerwyn struggles to navigate his feelings for his childhood best friend, Mable Conner, while haunted by the pain his father experienced from the loss of his mother.

Mable Conner is a young woman with big dreams, including a burning desire to become a singer. She is hopelessly in love with Kerwyn but finds it difficult to make him see her as the woman she has become, rather than the little girl he grew up with. As she pursues her dreams of stardom, Mable must also grapple with the idea of potentially leaving Kerwyn behind. Will he even care if she stays or goes?

As mysterious loner Devin Hill enters their lives, the dynamic between Mable and Kerwyn is irrevocably altered. Kerwyn sees Devin as a dangerous threat, while Mable views him as an opportunity. Their lives quickly become intertwined, forcing Mable and Kerwyn to face unexpected changes and confront the uncertainty of their futures. Ultimately, they may both be left to chance hope.
