Flame of Hope

by Julie Hodgson

Overview

"They tried to silence the truth. Instead, they sparked a revolution."

In a city ruled by fear and silence, 16-year-old Lexi never expected to become a voice the regime couldn't ignore. When her favourite teacher is dragged away for teaching banned books, Lexi and her friends are forced to choose: keep their heads down… or rise up.

By day, they're just students. By night, they're rebels—slipping poems between pages, tagging walls with forbidden truths, and livestreaming resistance from the shadows. What starts as whispers grows into a movement, one act of courage at a time.

But rebellion comes with a cost. Friends disappear. Choices get harder. And the line between bravery and danger starts to blur.

About the Author

I started writing poetry and short stories at the age of 9, a nice way to switch off I guess. Then it just escalated from there. My English teacher at my secondary school Mrs Love was an inspiration to me. In 1985 I moved to Tripoli in Libya, and as the schools did not have any books I started writing for the children of the local British schools. It's amazing that when there are no books you crave anything to read. So we all got together and made something out of nothing.
I have continued writing for newspapers, The Times in Kuwait in 89 just before the first Gulf conflict, then, Libya, Sweden, Uk and lots of other countries. And the story could go on and on...
I now live in Portugal and I have had many books published in the past and have joined publishers Opera Omnia and they published the first bilingual book back in November 2012. Many of my books are now in several languages.
