The End of Hope--The Beginning: Narratives of Hope in the Face of Death and Trauma

Our experiences of hope in the face of difficulties are as varied as our lives, and yet there has been very little examination of the ways we hope.A skilled and compassionate storyteller, McCarroll introduces readers to five expressions of hope through detailed and poignant case studies. On that foundation she then builds a discussion of the possibilities, limitations, and value of each approach. The result is an engaging and optimistic exploration of hope in difficult times.
