Meet Hope

Hope is a sixty-eight year old woman who has never really grown up. She is Neal's Aunt. Hope, along with Neal's Grandmother, raised Neal. She is married and settled down, is in pretty bad shape physically, and finds comfort in prayer,her Bible, and her Chihuahua named Diablo. Hope's part in this story mainly takes place in the past when she was thirty-two and Neal was eighteen. At that time Hope was as wild as a buck and a wide open partying redneck queen. She loved her beehive hairdo, her plum colored AMC Javelin, and her long dresses split up the side with hot pants underneath. She is the only one who has ever actually encouraged Shakled Alice to come on out and do her "thang..." Now that she has converted to Christianity she has become a loving and forgiving soul. She has met all of Neal's personalities.
