I'm looking for a book that could fall under this theme, including more recent books. Mostly, I want something set in the USA with the setting being part of the book itself that has hope in it and is (at least) kind of positive. An obvious to me example is A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, but I'm wondering about more recently published books like this. Also preferably under 500 pages.

Well, there’s *Where the Crawdads Sing* – the setting is a huge part of the story, and it is hopeful in a strange way, eventually. I liked it a lot, but a lot of copycat books followed (and came before), which I never read – I don’t think I would have liked it if I’d read it after reading other similar books.
