Reviews

""Honest, hopeful and quietly powerful, Hope Rising is a story about what it takes to trust again after trauma-and how love, time and the strength of family can slowly piece a heart back together. Set in the world of equine therapy, it explores how the past can wound us, but doesn't have to define us. With human, heartfelt prose that begs to be read aloud-and a twist that keeps us hooked-this novel reminds us that healing is possible, even when it feels out of reach. With the same touching connection to nature and all things horses as Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens and Chosen by a Horse by Susan Richards, this is a story that speaks to the quiet power of empathy, animals and second chances."" -Scott Baldyga, Screenwriter and Author of the #1 Amazon true crime release Frozen ""Tender and uplifting, yet compelling, Hope Rising is fully charged with emotional depth and illustrates how the 'coincidences' in life can lead to connections we never knew existed and through them, healing. With prose alternately lyrical and then harshly grounded, Hope Rising will stay with you long after the last page. An engrossing read!"" -Fran G Thomas, Jr., Author of the Silent Justice Series ""Hope Rising is a beautifully layered story about healing, legacy and finding strength in unexpected places. I was pulled in by Hope's quiet determination and the way her journey unfolded-with grace, grit and just the right touch of mystery. Zani captures the pain of the past and the promise of what's possible with tenderness and depth. If you've ever had to rebuild, or learn to trust again, this story will stay with you."" -Gina Clapprood, Intuitive Advisor and Author ""In a multidimensional sense, this book is about soul retrieval, remembering the parts of ourselves buried under bloodlines, pain, and silence. The land, the horses, the shoreline, all play conscious roles in this unraveling. Nature herself becomes an oracle, reminding us that healing comes in waves, not resolutions. The past lives in the soil. The future waits in the breeze. And the present, the now, is where miracles unfold. If you are a seeker of truth, a feeler of subtle frequencies, or someone who listens for the voice beneath the voice, this story will resonate deeply. It reminds us that love is not just an emotion, it is a path, and sometimes, we must lose our way to find the soul of who we've always been. A beautifully written novel that will live within your heart."" -Jackie Waitkus, Spirit Medium at Blending Two Worlds ""Zani pulls you into her stories and makes you feel like you are living in Maine, right next door as a neighbor, a friend. You get to know the characters and feel all of their emotions. More than anything, as you near the end of the book, you will not want it to end."" -Eileen Bernier ""Zani masterfully blends her intuitive mediumship with her natural storytelling gifts, breathing authentic emotional depth into her characters. Her prose feels approachable yet profound-like listening to a close friend who understands exactly what you're feeling. Each page brims with sincerity, empathy, and insight, a testament to Zani's connection to both the human heart and spirit. Fans of her earlier novels, Piper, Once & Again (2016) and Waiting for Grace (2020), will find Hope Rising a satisfying and uplifting conclusion. But newcomers, fear not: Zani skillfully weaves enough context throughout that the novel stands beautifully on its own. Zani leaves readers with a heart full of hope and perhaps a renewed trust in life's unpredictable beauty."" -Betterauds.com
