Hope is coming! Again

Hope is set in a fractured world struggling to recover after a devastating war. It follows our main character, Jayne, written in the first-person present tense, while the other points of view are in third-person past tense. The reason it was written like this was to provide a stark contrast between Jayne and the other characters. It also allows the reader to become personally invested in Jayne as a person from the age of seven to seventeen.
