This book invites you into their homes and families, their schools and neighborhoods, their hearts, hopes, and fears. Enter a world where clay creatures take on aluminum oppressors. Get thrown against an elevator wall in the midst of a horror story. Go backstage with a rock band, say goodbye to relatives as you start a new life, stand with an engineer solving a coding problem.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Minimal wear to cover. Pages clean and binding tight. shelf wear. bumped edges. Paperback. "The anthology you hold-Hope Lives In Our Words- is a testament to and product of that rich, inspiring, and creative community. To have found people willing to support others, willing to care for others, to love others as if they were their family, has made me see that resistance does not always mean being the loudest voice in the room. Resistance can also emerge from radical love, care, and acceptance. To fight the fear, the hate, and the hopelessness, we must be willing to love, protect, and accept the people around us-they are our lifeline. We must recognize each human life as invaluable, as interwoven and intricately important to every other human's life. We must connect ourselves to each other so tightly that it feels impossible for us to live in this world without each other, because it is.Girls Write Now has given me the space to process the cruelty of the world and it has also connected me to people who help make this burden lighter: a fellow mentee who texts you after a Zoom meeting to tell you they liked the poem you read. A facilitator of an event telling a group of mentees that yes, this world is scary, yes this is hard, but we will move forward together. A mentor telling you that the world is not ending, not so long as you find people to hold on to, to hope with and for. Girls Write Now is a place where it seems, even if only for a moment, that we are safe, we are supported, we are valuable. So, I raise my eyes again to my screen. Lives again fall before me, but I do not look away. With all this love surrounding me, all this kindness I will not shake off, I am prepared to face the world. Together, we will stare down the gaping mouth of this beastly world, and though we don't know what comes next, we know we are not alone when surrounded by others. For, when we are surrounded by others, we are filled with unceasing hope for what might come to be. All the possibilities of a new world rise to the surface when you realize you are not the only one wishing for a new world. By reading the stories in this book, you will see others searching for the connection you long for. You are not alone." - Girls Write Now Mentee, Alejandre (AJ). AJ is a writer and poet from Virginia, who has had the pleasure of working on the Girls Write Now Anthology Committee with their mentor, Marisa. …
