Hope Nation is a collection of essays, letters, and stories by popular YA authors seeking to either give others hope or show that hope can lead to better things.  It was put together in 2018 after the devesting break in American society with the election of Donald Trump.  It reminds people that things will get better eventually.  Some of my favorite stories were Libba Bray and her car accident, Angie Thomas talking about how worried she was for the release of the hate you give, or (I can not remember which author) talking about their immigrant experience and having to be told as a teenager to remember they are an immigrant.  This was not a book I set out with a purpose to read, other than to fill a challenge, but the idea of hope worked.  Listening to these stories made my day lighter and had me looking and fighting for a brighter and better future for myself and others.
