Acerca de esta escucha
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?

Historia
If you find yourself talking to writer Jayne Dandy, keep the conversation on comic books and Star Wars - best not to mention men, dating, or S-E-X. Her crippling fear of intimacy has made relationships a big no-no, but hiding behind her laptop isn’t going to get her lightsaber lit. When her therapist recommends that she write erotica as a form of exposure therapy, Jayne is hesitant. But when she is unexpectedly downsized at work, she adopts a pseudonym and secretly publishes her sexy stories to make ends meet.

When I arrive unannounced at my husband's studio in need of a shoulder to cry on after hearing that my best student, Alex, has died, I see a pair of wineglasses drying by the sink, and my deepest fear is confirmed: my husband is having an affair. Most women would fall to their knees in tears and throw him out of the house - but I just can't bring myself to do it. Instead, I go home and cook a healthy dinner for our children, walk the dog, and unload the dishwasher without complaint. I need this marriage to work to protect a terrible secret of my own....

From Lauren Graham, the beloved star of Gilmore Girls and Parenthood, comes a witty, charming, and hilariously relatable debut novel about a struggling young actress trying to get ahead - and keep it together - in New York City. It’s January 1995, and Franny Banks has just six months left of the three-year deadline she set for herself when she came to New York, dreaming of Broadway and doing "important" work. But all she has to show for her efforts so far is a part in an ad for ugly Christmas sweaters, and a gig waiting tables at a comedy club....

Reseñas de la Crítica
"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)

They couldn’t mention it to Dad. This is her present, Thomas thought....

An absorbing, beautiful novel
Today I am reviewing an audiobook version of a book I read in the digital form several years ago, "The Hope Store" by poet and playwright, Dwight Okita.
His debut novel, "The Prospect of My Arrival," was one of the more absorbing sci-fi novels I’ve ever read. So, I was quite intrigued when he first published the "The Hope Store."
And how amazing it was to discover that Dwight Okita himself has narrated the audiobook! 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.
I love Okita’s cerebral yet poetic prose. The narrative feels gentle and approachable, even when depicting the harsher realities of his world, and Okita’s voice is perfect for the tone of the 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.
Luke Nagano describes himself as “a boy with a big heart but no idea where to put it.” This holds true throughout the entire novel, as Luke himself is the embodiment of hope. Of Japanese descent, Luke is a native of Chicago and is deeply rooted in Midwestern American culture. He is deeply in love with Kazu Mori, a rock-star scientist from Tsukuba, Japan. Luke’s thoroughly American blundering through life causes him to make occasional missteps, inadvertent cross-cultural clashes, which create tension. Kazu is forgiving but is wholly dedicated to his work. Their love/work relationship drives the plot, also creating tension.
The relationships and thoughts of both Jada and Luke are shown throughout the narrative. However, they still have secrets from the reader, keeping me turning the pages.
Okita shows the actual science behind the Hope installation with masterful strokes. Instead of devolving into a drawn-out explanation, he offers just enough information about the key elements, a framework for the reader to hang their imagination on.
Beyond the great characters and the futuristic setting is the deeper story.
Belief and disbelief, hope and the lack of it, the desire for it, and the lengths we will go to acquire it is what drives this tale. Intrigues, private agendas, and in some cases, desperation drive the story to a satisfying, logical, yet surprising finish.
I highly recommend the audio version of "The Hope Store," as much as do the kindle and paper book. I found it cerebral, sexy, and thought-provoking, as all Okita’s work is. His narration takes this novel to a new level. If you are looking for a good winter’s read or an audiobook, this is one I can recommend with no reservations.
Definitely five stars.

Lifting character spirits and mine too
First off amazing performance by Dwight Okita! The characters all had their own unique tones. There is also a short musical track that fits perfectly with the theme of the story.
The imagery of characters undergoing their procedure to gain hope was intimate. Like many reviewers have said the characters in this book feel very familiar and I would like to add make for an easy "what would I do in this situation". With page turning events in certain characters' lives this novel offers listeners the opportunity to bring some extra hope into their own lives like it did for me. Great Listen!

Fascinating Concept
I enjoyed how much this book made me think about how hope works. It also gave an unflinching look into suicidal ideation. It kept me guessing as to what would happen and didn't follow a predictable path.
