About Ashley Hope

What could possibly lead a thirty-eight-year-old mother of three young children to blow up her life by filing for divorce and then seek experiences of all sorts on Tinder in the midst of a global pandemic? How did this life-long hopelessly romantic, inherently monogamous, “Bible-bumping”, rule-following first-born end up on a whirlwind sex spree? My book will take you through some of the events that led to me making that decision, as well as take you through the experiences themselves. Join me as I face my faith, closeted sexuality, ingrained misogyny, and all the loves, losses and discoveries that led to me redefining what it meant for me to be a “lady”.

This is my love story. My loss story. My discovery story. Unbecoming all I had been so I could become all I was born to be.

By illuminating parts of the path I've walked in my journey, I hope others can find safe footing to feel loved and accepted for their own personal truths. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Love and Curiosity,

Ashley Hope

 My writing aims to start conversations:

I dream about living in a world where everyone is safe and supported in their personal truths. Where everyone knows what those truths even are. 

We must stop telling people who they should be and start listening to who they tell us they are.

My hope is that we all start listening, without judgment, to every single story of love, loss, and discovery for as long as it takes to realize we are all intimately connected in this universal human experience.
