More DescriptionWhat is hope–instinct, emotion, learned behavior or innate impulse? In Hope in Small Doses, author Nikki Stern asks these questions and more. Hers is a journey to find the hope that has eluded her for some time, especially following the death of her husband on 9/11. Rejecting hope that counts on divine providence or a guaranteed outcome, she embraces a version driven not by expectation but by possibility.

Feisty, funny and deeply moving, Hope in Small Doses offers a workable blueprint for a life fully lived.
