"Making Hope" tells the story of one young Vorambi virologist, Ras Tila, and his struggle to find the cure for the virus which has plagued him all his life. A terminal patient within the Urasha Healing House, considered racially inferior, Ras must prove himself both as a student and as a being worthy of life, even if that life is a fragile one that could literally end any day.
But many would seek to hinder Ras Tila in his quest. Some, such as Dr. O'Varak, believe Ras is only deluding himself and prolonging the inevitable. Dr. O'Varak's well-meaning quest to have Ras euthanized (as all other Kash's Mark victims typically end up), is countered by the quietly determined Marka Tila, Ras's mother. Other doctors, such as Instructor Katski, his mentor, seem to be more understanding. Yet even Katski seems to be only humoring Ras.
Only Enyale, Ras's childhood friend and pen-pal, seems to have any faith in him, and even she speaks of Ras as if he were dead already sometimes.

Ras Tila's story is one of hope even in the darkest of situations, and faith in one's abilities and dreams. All that inspirational shtuff, yeah I know. XD

For those who are curious about the author herself:
I'm a 21 year old college student and writer/artist. I have completed a novel set in the same world as "Making Hope" called "Necessary Evil" (doesn't sound as rosy, does it?), and am currently working on getting it published. I will soon have a real website up for both "Making Hope" and my other writings and art. Hopefully I'll piece together something like an encyclopedia of Otska there as well.

Ras Tila, Otska, the Vorambi, and all that good stuff is c. to me. ^^
