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 about. 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.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Readers will be humming the Chariots of Fire theme song as they turn the pages of Cushman’s latest present-day novel of a race well run. College student Sabrina Rice was an Olympic hopeful until a devastating diagnosis left her grappling with the pain of a crushed dream and a spiritual battle born of the realization that God doesn’t always behave the way we think he should. When her path crosses with a teenage graffiti artist fleeing the scene of her crime, Sabrina recognizes the girl’s potential as a runner. Brandy soon finds herself at Sabrina’s mercy when the court mandates extracurricular activity in lieu of juvenile detention. As Sabrina attempts to pass the baton to Brandy, both learn what it truly means to endure life’s marathons. As Christian-fiction writer Cushman brings together two unlikely souls facing difficult obstacles, readers will be inspired as they rise to meet the challenges set before them. With strong themes of faith and perseverance, Chasing Hope is sure to be a hit with fans of contemporary inspirational fiction featuring strong women. --Elizabeth Ponder

Chasing Hope is the story of Sabrina Rice, a runner with Olympic dreams who is forced to give up running when she is diagnosed with a debilitating disease. A few years later she faces the challenge of training Brandy, a teenager in trouble. Chasing Hope is well-written. A real portrayal of what it's like to struggle against something you can't change. It brings up questions of faith, family, and God's will. Does a change in circumstances mean giving up a dream? Does a physical struggle lessen someone's faith or strengthen it? Sometimes the answers aren't easy. I thought the author did a good job keeping it real. I am someone who has a physical disability. I just completed my first 5K, I loved how this book talked about running, and pain, and overcoming serious obstacles. Life hardly ever turns out the way we plan it, but it never takes God by surprise. I loved this book for the encouragement it was to me. Read Chasing Hope. Maybe it will give you the courage to re-shape your dreams.

A great story about what to do when the dreams you feel called to do doesn't end up the way you planned. Will you trust God or yourself? Everyone will relate to her main character Sabrina's struggles with a life altering illness that snatches her hard earned goals out from under her. And we'll also relate to rebellious teenager Brandy who just needs someone to believe in her. Recommended for women's fiction fans and those who enjoy the likes of Deborah Raney and Karen Kingsbury.

Many runners; I’m more of a slogger, use running as a release and as a way to clear our minds. In this book running saved a teenaged girl from the street and put her on the road God wanted for her. At the same time her coach, still hurting from disappointments in her life, also found her way back to God and the path He wanted her to take. Excellent book

Honestly I didn't think I'd like this book, it sat in my Kindle for a year before I read it. I was pleasantly surprised by it and found I really enjoyed reading it and really cared about the characters. Kathryn Cushman is skilled at developing compassion and building a gentle suspense. Both Sabrina and Brandy drew my interest, they both felt like underdogs to me and I kept rooting for them to reach their potential. There is a fair amount of running talk and that is what initially held me back from reading it, but again it was done in a way that I think most people can relate to or at least enjoy. Then end result was uplifting and motivating!

Well this was quite a different read for me. I didn't know what to expect when I opened the first page. Sabrina Rice started running very young and dreamed of being in the Olympics then traveling as a missionary. Sabrina's dreams are shattered and she is trying to move on with her life giving up running. Brandy comes into Sabrina's life thru their grandmothers. Sabrina learns to listen to her heart and Brandy finds a better path in life. Quite the inspirational book.

I seriously had tears in my eyes as I read the last pages. What does a person do when she's heard God's call for her life, begins the work of that call, and it all falls to pieces? How does a woman move forward? Did she miss the call...or the working out of it?

I have always enjoyed Kathryn Cushman's books, but I believe that this is my favorite. I will read this one again and again.

This is just the sort of story I needed to read this week. So full of the right message, so full of hope in the face of life's realities. The only critique I really have about this story is that it wants a clearer gospel message. Through God and the Lord Jesus can I do all things in His strength that He gives me to do His work He calls me to. I long to return to running regularly, but it will have to wait a little longer.
