In the small city of Wharton, Connecticut, lives are beginning to unravel. A husband betrays his wife. A son struggles with addiction. A widow misses her late spouse. At the heart of these interlinking stories is one couple: Freddie and Greg Tyler.
Greg has just been diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a brutal form of cancer. He intends to handle this the way he has faced everything else: through grit and determination. But can Greg successfully overcome his illness? How will Freddie and their daughter cope if he doesn’t? How do the other residents of Wharton learn to live with loss, and find happiness again?
An emotionally powerful debut that immerses the reader into a community of friends, family, and neighbors, A Little Hope celebrates the importance of small moments of connection and the ways that love and forgiveness can help us survive even the most difficult of life’s challenges.

这也算是跨年的一本书了，除夕当天开始读，陪我不经意地跨年，元旦上午锻炼时分听完。普通人的普通事，开头很好，引人入胜，结尾有点潦草了。

BOTM 11月debut作者，美国suburban neighborhood的故事。氛围营造得不错，但是情节太平淡无趣了，结尾也非常仓促。作者像是布了个大局，却草草收了盘。其实往深处探索一下，书中的几对couple都有能够深究的碰撞，无奈200来页的书，实在是不够发展超过十个有血有肉的角色。
