Hope, Love, and Me

On a rainy August night, two female bodies are found on the side of the road. An unplanned night of underage drinking leads to a single car crash that has life-changing consequences. The driver, Melissa Anastasia, is left paralyzed from the neck down, forced to face life at 18 in a new body she wasn't prepared for.

After a series of destructive decisions as a teenager, Hope, Love, and Me, walks through the next decade of a young woman's struggle for a new life, highlighting her humor and tenacity.

Hope, Love, and Me is the story of a fight for redemption as Melissa Anastasia struggles to maintain her worth and identity in a physically driven world. Left in a culture focused on comparison, she is left to fight the hopelessness the world offers her. 

Behind every face is a powerful story, and nothing is ever quite as it seems.
