The Wall of Hope - Paperback

by Kathleen L. Martens (Author)

The Wall of Hope is a captivating, cross-cultural journey to discovering family, love, and purpose in a world of chaos and war.

Hope Lê Ketchum-James has struggled to find her place in the world. The daughter of an American soldier and a Vietnamese mother, Hope grew up in Boston as the indulged stepdaughter of a world-famous American singer. After graduating from Harvard Law, Hope's memories of her early traumatizing years in an orphanage and dramatic wartime rescue begin to haunt her when she joins her father's Uplift Children's Foundation as an adoption attorney.

Enter Dominique Bellamy Bonchance. Uplifts new French Overseas Operations Manager draws Hope out of her shell. As their romance grows, so does the dangerous and violent nature of Dominique's overseas work. Hope's passion to save children as she'd been saved, and her painful past cause a conflict as Hope and Dominique navigate their budding relationship. Hope finds solace in her art, painting smiling faces of rescued children from war zones. While pursuing a case in San Francisco, she stumbles upon her birth mother's family and begins to uncover who she is and what she's meant to be.

Will Hope and Dominique be torn apart by the very thing that brought them together? Can Hope build a bridge to peace and love through her creativity amidst the chaos in her world?
