JULIE BUXBAUM - GEBRAUCHT HOPE AND OTHER PUNCH ...

The New York Times bestselling author of Tell Me Three Things and What to Say Next delivers a
poignant and hopeful novel that poses questions about identity and the extent to which we can
control our own narratives. Imagine that fifteen years ago a photo was taken of a baby being
rescued from the World Trade Center on 9 11. Imagine that you were that baby. On the fifteenth
anniversary of the tragedies of 9 11  sixteen-year-old Abbi is once again in the news. On that
fateful day  as a one-year-old child grasping a red balloon and wearing a paper birthday crown
she was being carried safely away from the devastation when an iconic photograph was taken of
her and the young woman holding her. Thus  Abbi was lovingly celebrated as Baby Hope. The fame
had been a curse. At a time when Abbi would rather blend in than stand out in high school  the
notoriety made her a pariah to some. Now that it's summer  Abbie sees this time as an
opportunity to shed that forced identity and present a new self. As a counselor at a day camp
she meets Noah  who reveals that he knows her secret. Will he help or hinder her efforts to
forge a new identity and move forward  beyond the burden of what she is supposed to represent?
