Publisher Description
What can we hope for at the end of the world? What can we trust in when community has broken our hearts? What would it mean to pursue justice without violence? How can we love in the absence of faith?
In a heartbreaking yet hopeful collection of personal essays and prose poems, blending the confessional, political, and literary, Kai Cheng Thom dives deep into the questions that haunt social movements today. With the author's characteristic eloquence and honesty, I Hope We Choose Love proposes heartfelt solutions on the topics of violence, complicity, family, vengeance, and forgiveness. Taking its cues from contemporary thought leaders in the transformative justice movement such as adrienne maree brown and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, this provocative book is a call for nuance in a time of political polarization, for healing in a time of justice, and for love in an apocalypse.

“Nicky Endres is the perfect narrator for this work of queer nonfiction, first published in 2019 and now available on audio. Thom’s essays explore the contradictions and complexities of queer and trans communities and social justice movements…Thom’s prose is scathing and conversational, and Endres captures both modes…An essential listen for anyone doing social justice work.”
