Hope Lives

I went rummaging through one of my boxes of books the other day, and in addition the book I’d specifically been looking for, I found a few more old Nancy Drew mysteries that I’d bought a while back and since forgotten about. You’d think that, after the unpleasant experiences I had with Nancy Drew last year, I’d have been unhappy to see them. Nope. They gave me that same blend of nostalgia and excitement that Nancy Drew mysteries always inspire in me. They will probably end up disappointing me, but until they do, hope lives.
