Radhe lives in a fog of sadness brought on by circumstances she didn't cause, she doesn't understand, and worst of all, she can't change. Then one day, Radhe wakes up with an idea. She realizes she has the ability to make decisions each day that can lead her into a brighter, more hopeful existence. Growing Hope speaks to a child's innate sense of survival, calling it out, encouraging it, and even training it. The story gently acknowledges trouble is present but demonstrates a simple response of hope. Ruling out the crippling sense of helplessness the victim role insures, Growing Hope empowers children to seek options and make better choices, choices that are available to most children each and every day.
