ABOUT I FELL IN LOVE WITH HOPE:

Against the unforgiving landscape of a hospital, a group of terminally ill patients embraces the joys within their reach: friendship, freedom, rebellion. Each in their own way is broken; each in their own way is stronger for it.

In the midst of pain and loss, they find community, even miracles, and together they are determined to reclaim from life what illness has taken from them. But a singular heartbreak has led one to swear off love forever. The risk of experiencing another tragedy feels too great. Yet, in this desolate place where it seems impossible for love to make an appearance, a door opens—and so do hearts.

ABOUT LANCALI:

Lancali is a pen name for Lou-Andrea Callewaert. Born in France, where her imagination was so all-consuming her parents teased that she lived on the moon, she moved to the US when she was ten and soon started filling empty boxes with stories she’d write. Lou is now twenty-one, still a moon treader, her imagination more sculpted and developed, and she attends the University of Florida where she studies literature and classics. I Fell in Love with Hope is her first novel and she is currently completing her second.
