A Read with Jenna Bonus Selection

An “immersive…illuminating” (Booklist) and life-affirming novel following the residents of an idyllic Connecticut town over the course of a year, A Little Hope explores the intertwining lives of a dozen neighbors as they confront everyday desires and fears: a lost love, a stalled career, an illness, and a betrayal.

Freddie and Greg Tyler seem to have it all: a comfortable home, a beautiful young daughter, a bond that feels unbreakable. But when Greg is diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer, the sense of certainty they once knew evaporates. Throughout their town, friends and neighbors face the most difficult of life’s challenges and are figuring out how to survive thanks to love, grace, and hope.

“A quietly powerful portrait of small-town life…told with wisdom and tenderness” (Mary Beth Keane, author of Ask Again, Yes) A Little Hope is a deeply resonant debut that immerses the reader in a community and celebrates the importance of small moments of connection.

Critic reviews

"Author Joella creates characters who love, hate, and mourn with a depth that Taylor–Corbett's performance mirrors. Ultimately life-affirming and uplifting, Taylor–Corbett’s delivery allows a hopeful tone to enter the story's last stages, which are characterized by both heartbreak and affirmation. There are times when A LITTLE HOPE is all we can ask for and — as depicted by Joella and aided by narrator Taylor–Corbett — is all we need."
