Read by Kathy Eldon

Hope Rising is an interactive collection of witty, engaging, and often surprisingly informative spoken word poems. Interspersed are Kathy's whimsical musings about love, parenthood, the pandemic, and what happens after our wild and precious lives are over. Written when social unrest and the Coronavirus competed for headlines with wildfires that raged around the world, this remarkable collection offers an inspiring new vision for the future and what we have to do to get there. The audiobook, which includes prompts to map out your own path to a more positive future, should spark a desire to start living the life of your choice, for we have no idea what's happening next.
