Becoming
66 years old the other day, I started reading HOPE. It reached me on many
levels. The story had me in laughter, tears, and at many times in thought.
There
is a universal fiber that runs through us humans, Christians call him God, which leads us to belief
which in turns leads to hope – my take.
Mr.
Swisher’s novella HOPE’s characters are aging towards the end of life in a
home. Only one, who has not reached this elderly age, has hope and believes he
can fly. Will his belief turn into hope for the others?
‘What
if we can believe – fly, have hope?’ is gently interwoven into this story.
Little by little the residences move from doubt to ‘What if’ to belief. All,
but one character, in their own way become convinced and begin to hope, leading
to revelations and an escape from their mundane lives.
This
is a novella that will lead you to think about your own mortality. Hopefully it
will get you thinking about how we treat our elderly humans.
Mr.
Swisher’s writing is mature as is his character and story development. The
story has no unused words always getting to the point.
