Hope Was Here
By Joan Bauer
Hope Was Here relates how sixteen-year-old Hope and her aunt move to a small town in Wisconsin to join the “short order dance” of life at the Welcome Stairways Diner. In the course of just a few months, Hope encounters issues as diverse as her customers: corruption in politics, a new love, serious illness, and the meaning of family.
