The Hope Grid

By Susan B. Roara

High school senior William has a lot on his plate: Between caring for his mentally ill mother, helping his best friend through a family crisis, and working up the courage to talk to his crush, he has little time for himself. When a strange gypsy approaches him, warning him to make the right choices, he brushes off her ramblings of what she calls The Hope Grid. A troubled neighbor gives William a bag of drugs and, aware that he never puts himself first, William decides to take on a one-time role as the school's drug dealer. But things quickly spiral out of control, and when his desire to impress friends with drug use goes too far, William's life comes to an end-but his lessons on life are just beginning. William must watch as his friends and family continue to navigate life without him, making choices...both good and bad. But can William inspire his friends to open the right boxes and follow the right life path?
