Where do you find hope? In this exquisitely written volume, of 30 of America's most eloquent Catholic writers reflect on where they find and sustain sources of hope on their own lives. These reflections draw on a wide range of sources - from reason, love, anger, prayer, and humor, to inspirational figures such a Dorothy Day, Flannery O'Connor, and Pope John Paul II, in illuminating the battle against despair that is always at work in religious faith.
