Hope Grace, pen name of Lynn Beran, is an author, translator, and editor whose work explores the                                                     intersections of identity, science, faith, creativity, and societal transformation. From her journey as a                                                   Chinese immigrant to her career as a Senior IT Security Analyst, she brings a rare synthesis of lived                                                   experience, analytical rigor, and reflective depth to her writing. Grounded in Christian faith, her work                                                 seeks to inspire courage, purpose, and clarity—inviting readers to live and think more intentionally.

                                       

                                       Her memoir, From Passive to Passion: A Chinese Immigrant’s Journey to American Activism, traces a                                                 profound personal transformation from silence to agency. The memoir also serves as the foundation for                                           a broader self-help series that distills practical wisdom from lived experience, including:

creativity, and insight emerge through the body—offering a fresh, experiential

approach to learning, healing, and self-organization.

part of her lifelong discipline of embodied well-being.

In 2024, during the U.S. presidential election, she wrote the lyrics for the song

“Garbage to the Moon,” reflecting her creative engagement with pivotal cultural

moments and the moral tensions of public life.

​

Hope Grace’s literary portfolio also includes significant scientific contributions.

She served as translator and editor for Zhang XiangQian’s Unified Field Theory,

producing the English First Edition with precision, editing the Academic Edition

for scholarly audiences, and authoring the Popular Science Edition to make

complex theoretical ideas accessible to general readers.

​

Her imaginative reach continues in fiction, including Voyage Throughout Planet

Guoke and Horizon Shift, where speculative storytelling becomes a lens for

exploring science, consciousness, and humanity’s future.

Through her independent imprint, Hope Grace Publishing, she remains dedicated

to sharing work that matters—championing clarity over noise, depth over trend,

and voices that connect cultures, disciplines, and generations.
