I am just about finished with the manuscript for SACRED–the second book in the series set amongst the orphanages and historic towns of Russia.

Would you like to get an advance copy of the first chapter?

Here’s what you need to do to get an exclusive first look at SACRED…

1. Buy SCARED at any local bookstore–not online, but a real bookstore like this one (this is the Borders near my office):

2. Send me the receipt with your e-mail address

3. Watch your e-mail for the PDF copy of the first chapter of SACRED.

Send me your receipt dated June 17, 2009 or later, and we’ll send you an email link to download the PDF. You can scan and e-mail your receipt to hannah@hopechest.org or mail it to:

This is more than book sales. It’s always rewarding to succeed. But the passion of my heart and the project for the rest of my life is to lend my voice to boys and girls like Adanna who cannot speak for themselves. These novels are one way we can accomplish that. The more momentum we create, the more children will get the help and hope they need.

I hope you buy a book. I hope you give it to your friends and family. To your friends at work and at church. I hope you share your voice and your influence with Adanna and the 150 million other boys and girls who need you to speak up for them.

Thanks so much for being on this journey with me and Children’s HopeChest.
