Summary
"In this young adult novel, fourteen-year-old Eva Brown is coping with difficulties at home and at school, most significantly her mother's alcoholism. When Eva's nohkum (grandmother) is hospitalized, her mother struggles to care for Eva and her younger brother. After Eva's brother wanders away, he is sent to live with a foster family and Eva finds herself in a group home. Furious at her mother's weakness, Eva struggles to adjust to the group home--and reuniting with her family seems less and less likely. During a visit to the hospital, Nohkum gives Eva Shirley's diary. Can Eva find forgiveness for her mother in its pages? Heartbreaking and humorous, Hopeless in Hope is a compelling story of family and forgiveness."--, Provided by publisher
