Chevrolet Prizm Battery Problem

I have a 1998 chevy prism.ive had it for a few years now n its never given me any problems before now. i was driving it one afternoon.and out of no where,she didnt want to start anymore.luckly i was home already. This is what ive tryed already.i bought new fuses a new battery and tryed jumping it with my mothers truck.the one thing that did work for me was a wire i ran from the starter to the battery for a hotwire.that worked while having the ignition in the on possition.i can turn the key on and all the lights n everything will come on.but the car wont start with the key. Can u help out?
