Chasing Hope by Kathryn CushmanMy rating: 💛💛💛💛
This book grabbed my attention early on - well, with the main subject being running, it could not but, since I'm a runner so I loved every scene which included running.
The character growth of both Brandi and Sabrina was well delivered throughout the story and I enjoyed that both characters was real through the challenges they faced, the mistakes they made and the insecurities they had to deal with.
The theme of finding your way and new path after the road you clearly thought was God's will closed, was strong and I loved how Sabrina's struggles with this was realistic and how the every day reader would most like also handle these type of questions.
I also loved that the spiritual thread was so strong.

About the book:
A Personal Drama of Shattered Dreams and Second Chances
A talented runner fully committed to Olympic dreams, Sabrina Rice's future was shattered by a devastating diagnosis. One forfeited scholarship and several years later, she has new goals and dreams that have nothing to do with running--something that's become far too painful to think on.
Until the day she sees Brandy Philip running across the community college campus, easily outpacing security. Sabrina immediately recognizes world-class speed, and it's all the more painful that it belongs to a teenage graffiti artist. When a chance encounter brings the two young women together, Sabrina becomes Brandy's best hope for staying out of juvenile hall. Soon, Sabrina begins to feel an uncomfortable nudge that her new life is just about to be toppled...that God may be calling her to minister to this talented but troubled girl.
