«Hope» is the historical young adult novel by LouAnn Bigge Gaeddert, published by Carlsen in hardcover (158 pages, in German).
Hope and her little brother John go to live with the Shakers after their mother's death and their father's departure for the California gold fields. In the community, men and women, even boys and girls, live separately and follow strict rules. Hope ends up respecting these hardworking people, though she never stops longing to be reunited with her father.
The German translation is by Birgitt Kollmann and the Carlsen edition is from 1997; the work was a nominee for the Vermont Golden Dome Book Award.
For young readers from about 12 years old, especially those who enjoy historical fiction set in nineteenth-century religious communities.
