Hope needs a place to call home. This big, beautiful mosaic dream of a country, in danger of turning to ash, lives here in these sun-kissed pages, in stories, plays, poems, and essays. Experience a reverence for history known and unknown, stories intimate and public, concealed and transparent, comedic and tragic, sad and joyful. Like canning fruit for a harsh winter, the work in this book preserves what is and what came before, to nourish us when days are dark. The young writers, fueled by a desire for connection and community, encourage us to persevere when tempted to bury our heads in the sand. As one of the pieces notes, we are indeed ?at the end of the world searching for revival.? Let this be your guide.

Girls Write Now is a nationally award-winning nonprofit, media incubator, and multi-generational community. For nearly three decades, we have broken down the barriers of gender, age, race, and poverty to mentor, teach, and connect writers and leaders across disciplines and around the nation. With a focus on those historically disempowered due to their gender and gender identity, we harness the power of stories to shape culture, impact industries, and bridge worlds.
