"Hannah Rising," delivers a story that will make readers both laugh and cry as they follow the journey of a woman who loses everything only to discover she never had it in the first place.
When 37-year-old Hannah Hamilton returns to her family's estate after losing her job and apartment, she expects to find the same cold reception that drove her away years ago. Instead, she discovers her imperious mother Eleanor has spent a fortune building a palace for her pet rooster Napoleon while relegating Hannah to a servant's cabin. But this humiliation becomes the catalyst for uncovering family secrets that span generations. including her mother's obsession with ancient Peruvian sovereignty teachings that promise either enlightenment or madness.
Drawing from real-life characters and experiences, Price crafts a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. "Hannah Rising" explores themes of:
- Family trauma disguised as love – How control masquerades as care across generations
- The price of approval-seeking – What happens when you spend a lifetime trying to earn what should be freely given
- Ancient wisdom meets modern dysfunction – A billionaire matriarch's quest for spiritual transformation collides with corporate reality
- The courage to choose authenticity over acceptance – Sometimes the most radical act is simply being yourself
"This isn't your typical redemption story," says Price. "Hannah doesn't overcome her family's dysfunction—she learns to see through it. The book asks whether it's possible to love people while refusing to enable their patterns, and whether transformation is worth the cost when it threatens everything you've built your identity around."
The novel's unique blend of corporate intrigue, mystical teachings, and dark family humor sets it apart from traditional women's fiction. Readers will find themselves alternately frustrated by Eleanor's emotional manipulation and moved by her genuine search for meaning. The sovereignty teachings—based on actual pre-Columbian wisdom traditions—provide a framework for understanding how people can reclaim their power without needing to control others.
