Hope on Hank's Farm is the long-awaited sequel  to Sanctuary of Hope.

The giant guardian of the mountain’s black orifice shook in death. Like smoking, sparking octopus legs, limbs from the lightning-slaughtered tree chase her deep into the cave’s darkness.

Why, Mom, why did you have to leave me? Shuddering against something large and soft, she hopes it isn’t a hibernating bear. “How can I get back to the dorm? Who will believe me?” Terrified that Arnold would hear her and find her hiding place, she stifles her sobs against her hands. Hope for the hopeless? Where’s the hope now?

Will Judge Roberts’ order for thirteen-year-old Hope Herold’s placement on Hank’s Farm in Kentucky be successful in giving her reason to live? Her newly-developing feelings of safety are once again being ripped away.
