Rising Hope, the latest novel by Christine Martin
French-language novels. In 2016, she decided to re-visit her earlier works, and started writing Rising Hope, an updated, English version of one of her French novels. She is planning to publish Rising Hope in 2021, and is working on an English-lan- guage version of its sequel, Bonaventure. Christine has al-
ways been an animal lover. At age nine, she started tak- ing riding lessons. Christine rode regularly until she en- tered law school in Mon- tréal in her late teens. She
Fleeing a troubled past, horse-en-
thusiast Pascale Vladek leaves her native Québec for the United States, where she hopes to start a new life working at a rac- ing barn in the Bluegrass Region of Ken- tucky. Though she is distant, and socially awkward, her intense nature attracts un- solicited attention from the members of the Lavergne family, her new employers. However, seventeen-year-old Pascale has reason to hope that her luck has turned, and that she can now chase her dream of becoming a jockey. But that ambition is a long way
from being fulfilled. While connecting with equines comes naturally to her, Pas- cale has a harder time relating to people. Those around her are quick to wonder why she fled her home. Their interest in her and her past threatens to shatter the walls she has erected to protect herself from further, emotional harm. Will she ever reveal the secrets of her traumatic past? Will she be able to overcome the dramatic events facing her at Lavergne Farm? Will she open up to friendship, family, and romance? Rising Hope is the coming-of-age
story of a courageous young adult who struggles to recover from trauma. Read- ers of all ages and backgrounds will enjoy this fast-paced, passionate novel, and will relate to Pascale’s quest for safety, respect, love, and acceptance.

She currently lives in Brantford, Ontario with her family and two dogs, four cats, six horses and two miniature goats.
