Hope Quest: Book 1: Blackbird (Hope Quest trilogy)

By melanie ever moore

"I don't move the stars for just anyone."Fourteen year old Hope Quest knows that the abusive life she leads with her alcoholic grandmother is not the only one she's ever had. With a face full of scars, a barely functioning heart - damaged from a lightning strike as a toddler that also killed her mother - and a voice that only comes out a whisper, Hope is desperate to find her "voice", to discover the truth of her life. Despite her grandmother's denials, memories of a brother who left her with his favourite AC DC hoodie and a secret ability to create a spark with a snap of her fingers tell her that there was once something more - more than human. Encouraged by her cousin, Onyx, to break free from her grandmother's control, Hope's life begins to unravel when an attack at a party reawakens a secret ability to pull stars from the sky - and opens a terrifying black hole over her lightning scar. When the girls, and their motley crew of punk friends, attend a three day music festival, StarFEST, Hope discovers her long-lost brother is Blackbird, an enigmatic rock star, who leads her down a dark and dangerous path to self-discovery. "Disturbing and troubling" is how the relationship between Hope and Blackbird has been described by the book's editor. Hope Quest is full of heavy, emotion-laden and triggering material that is not for the faint of heart. Twenty-nine years in the making, Hope Quest book 1: Blackbird is the first of three parts of this epic story.
