Reached for: Daisies
“If I keep believing in the best of people, it'll come true. It has to.”
It runs as relentless hope pressed into service, a search for honor and grace and goodness in everyone and a drive to be the one who makes it all better, learned in a childhood spent trying to lift a family that kept sinking. The optimism is real and also a job; it never quite gets to rest. What it asks for is to let a situation be as bad as it is without having to redeem it.
Pollyanna, who met every hard thing with the glad game until the whole town caught it, and who broke, once, and had to be carried. The form implies a task: to let something be bad, and be carried through it.
