We live in a hopeless old house on an almost-deserted dead-end
street in a middle-of-nowhere town named Hope. This is the oldest
part of Hope; eventually it will all be torn down and rebuilt into
perfect homes for perfect people. Until then, we live here:
imperfect people on an imperfect street that everyone forgets
about. For Eva Brown, life feels lonely and small. Her mother,
Shirley, drinks and yells all the time. She's the target of the
popular mean girl, and her only friend doesn't want to talk to her
anymore. All of it would be unbearable if it weren't for her cat,
Toofie, her beloved nohkum, and her writing, which no one will ever
see. When Nohkum is hospitalized, Shirley struggles to keep things
together for Eva and her younger brother, Marcus. After Marcus is
found wandering the neighbourhood alone, he is sent to live with a
foster family, and Eva finds herself in a group home. Furious at
her mother, Eva struggles to adjust--and being reunited with her
family seems less and less likely. During a visit to the hospital,
Nohkum gives Eva Shirley's diary. Will the truths it holds help Eva
understand her mother? Heartbreaking and humorous, Hopeless in Hope
is a compelling story of family and forgiveness.
