Chasing Hope by Cushman, is an excellent read. I read it in a day, and it came on the heels of the lady swimming from Cuba to the US in 50ish hours. When the lady completed her dream, which she has been actively attempting since the 1970s, she said, 'never give up on your dreams'. It was hard to understand her, since her tongue was swollen from the sea water. She said that she kept the theme to the Beverly Hillbillies playing over and over; 2000 times in her head.
This novel, is also the story of reaching those dreams when the protagonist thought that her time was past.
The cover feels like rubber. Its about telling yourself that its time to forget the past and trust in God and allow Him to build your future.
I would slow to say it but the story is sorta like Cather in the Rye meets Jessie Owens. Its about a lady who gave up on her own dream when she could no longer run and she trains/coaches a troubled youth to get the child to change the course of her life.
Its a fantastic fictional work. A story that glorifies God. It moves fast and it will keep you hooked.
