'Tomorrow There Will Be Sun is more than just a book, it is hope in your hands.' Julia Gillard
The Hope Prize is the world's preeminent short story competition, and this collection of winning and shortlisted stories will delight, move and inspire you. From two lovers in Nigeria navigating uncertain futures; a homeless man in Melbourne holding fast to his dignity against the backdrop of an indifferent city; a former prisoner stepping back into the world; and a mother in Ireland who is unknowingly whisper-close to her long-lost son, these stories grapple with issues that define our time - mental health, poverty, war - in a way that feels both intimate and urgent.
In Tomorrow There Will Be Sun some of the world's most promising literary voices remind us that no matter the challenges we face, through the strength of the human spirit and the power of connection, we can move through darkness and into the light. In a tapestry of unique perspectives, this engrossing and entertaining collection is a balm for the soul.
Hope isn't passive. It's something we create, together. And in these pages, you'll find hope well and truly alive, waiting for you to carry it forward.
All royalties from the anthology support Beyond Blue, Australia's leading mental health charity.
