The Sudden Appearance of Hope Claire North

My name is Hope Arden, and you won't know who I am. We've met before--a thousand times. I am the girl the world forgets. It started when I was sixteen years old. A slow declining, an isolation, one piece at a time. A father forgetting to drive me to school. A mother setting the table for three, not four. A teacher who forgets to chase my missing homework. A friend who looks at me and sees a stranger. No matter what I do, the words I say, the people I hurt, the crimes I commit--you will never remember who I am. That makes my life difficult. It also makes me dangerous ... The Sudden Appearance of Hope is the tale of a girl no one remembers, yet her story will stay with you forever.
