Über diesen Titel
Two Asian American men who are soulmates, Luke and Kazu, discover a bold new procedure to import hope into the hopeless. They vow to open the world's first Hope Store. Their slogan: "We don't just instill hope. We install it."
The media descend. Customer Jada Upshaw arrives at the store with a hidden agenda, but what happens next, no one could have predicted. Meanwhile, an activist group called The Natural Hopers emerges, warning that hope installations are a risky, Frankenstein-like procedure and vow to shut down the store. Luke comes to care about Jada, and marvels at her super-responder status.
But in dreams begin responsibilities, and unimaginable nightmares follow. If science can't save Jada, can she save herself - or will she wind up as collateral damage?

Kritikerstimmen
"Okita’s narration of The Hope Store is perfect, as is the music he has chosen for each chapter break, bringing this wonderful book to life. Wow, where to begin. I was up all night listening to this book....Set in a Chicago of the future, the story opens with Jada Upshaw, a memorable, multidimensional character. A well-educated woman, Jada is, at the outset, intent on killing herself. Her despair and confused emotional state are laid bare, shown with the delicacy and respect Okita brings to all his characters....I found the book cerebral, sexy, and thought-provoking, as all Okita’s work is. His narration takes this novel to a new level." (Connie J. Jasperson, Life in the Realm of Fantasy blog)
"Okita has a wonderful voice that is perfect for narration. It is smooth and even in tone and texture. It's like standing ashore and feeling the warm ocean water as it washes over your feet." (Earl Sewell, author/narrator of the podcast Lennie Gray)
"Okita does a great job of keeping the reader in a suspended sense of hope as the story unfolds.…The book forces the reader to reflect on the idea of 'what is hope?' and that inherently makes one feel hopeful. No store needed." (Kelly Fumiko Weiss, Windy City Reviews)
