Evelyn and Claude's mother grows gravely (no pun intended) ill. They aren't sure what to do, but then a stranger comes along and offers them more hope than they ever could've wished for. From the point of view of 'Hope' itself, we see how these small children handle death and the unfortunate circumstances that arise around it.
(if you couldn't figure it out yourself- this is set around 100 years ago, give or take. it is not meant to be modern as it is based around the style of the ingenious Edgar Allan Poe)

"Once upon a time, there was a special child who never aged. To protect it from harm, I hid it within myself, until one day I forgot it was there." What happens when your child is taught to hate you? When Sienna falls in love, she embraces her partner's young daughters, Adele and Nina, with an open heart. But her dream of a happy, blended family is fragile.

Told from the unique and often silent perspective of a stepmother, this poignant memoir exposes the devastating reality of parental alienation and the profound grief of mourning children who are still alive. Yet, Hope is a Gentle Flicker is ultimately a story of courageous love.
