After the sudden death of her beloved father, fifteen-year-old Kimberly Aldridge is uprooted from her life in Crete and sent to Sedona, Arizona. She hopes for healing in the land of crimson cliffs—but instead finds herself in a broken home with an abusive uncle, a new school where she’s the outsider, and a bully who makes every day a battle.

Her lifeline comes in the form of Lexy Heller—the rebellious, sharp-tongued daughter of a billionaire. What begins as an unlikely friendship soon becomes Kimberly’s greatest anchor: a bond forged in loyalty, laughter, and the shared fight against cruelty.

Meanwhile, Kimberly’s Aunt Blanche is caught in her own storm. Trapped in a loveless marriage with a violent husband, Blanche finds herself drawn into a forbidden affair with George Heller—Lexy’s powerful father. Their secret romance threatens to ignite scandal and destroy everything they hold dear.

Blending found family, coming-of-age resilience, and forbidden love, A Spark of Hope in Sedona’s Red Rocks is a dramatic family saga about surviving abuse, uncovering secrets, and discovering that even in the darkest places, hope can rise like the desert sun.
